Once part of the protectorate of Belgium called Ruanda-Urundi, this tiny, land-locked country?the continent's most densely populated?became independent in 1962. After the overthrow of the minority Tutsi monarchy by the majority Hutu three decades ago, some 500,000 Tutsi fled the country. 

Fighting was fierce after a 1990 invasion by Tutsi exiles from Uganda. When the airplane carrying the Hutu presidents of both Rwanda and neighboring Burundi was shot down, Rwanda's Hutu government initiated a program of Tutsi genocide, slaughtering at least half a million people during just three months in 1994. In July of the same year the tables turned when Tutsi leaders regained control.
