- Fun fact, if you rearrange the letters of "Rwanda" you get "Wakanda" but with some extra letters missing and added.

#Rwanda #Africa #Travel #info
I bet if all things go according to plan, soon Rwanda will just change their name to "Wakanda." Welcome to the "tech and education hub" of Africa with a DARK past. My buddy Edmond guest stars to tell his story on how he survived the crazy 1994 mass killings. Oh and they have Gorillas here. So much to cover. Hope you enjoy this episode!
Geography Now nice.
Geography Now epic
Impresive
Loved the episode!

It’s gonna be a sad day when he runs out of countries
Countries not country's
@Mohammad Ahtesam actually a good idea
I think he will do unrecognized countries/autonomous regions next.
Maybe he'll do planets next
(Dunno just a suggestion)
Maybe in the year 2040 he will do states of the US, since that’s his biggest viewer demographic
Ethiopia is Africa’s historic pride.
Rwanda is Africa’s modern pride.
Afnan 287YT Nigeria is Africa’s economic pride. (This is because Nigeria has the biggest GDP in Africa. Rwanda however is the most put together and least politically unstable)
Just say sub-saharan Africa pride so you dont look like an idiot when you forget to mention north africa.
@@msha6637 some sub-saharian africans don't consider north africa as part of the continent, it's weird i know
@@pogchamp2897 We still are African though, sure North African maybe not Black, but NOT not African.

“The ‘U’ in UN stands for ‘Useless’”.
@@NewNicator Given the things that have happened in the last years, the UN starts to look more and more like the League of Nations. So far it looks like the UN only acts if the great powers like USA, Russia, China, Great Britain and France( which are the permanent members) get benefits in return, not caring at all for the innocent people that get killed in all these type of conflicts

Incredible how a country which has a recent destructive history got itself back on its feet so well. My aunt witnessed the events of 1994. Her daughter was there as well and recently returned to Rwanda for holiday. She couldn't recognize it, so well it has developped.
When I'm able to travel I'd love to go, (should it be safe to).
Same thing happened with Germany and Japan after immense destruction came back stronger with right development strategies and leadership

Rwanda in the 90s: It’s game over man!
Rwanda now: Wakanda exists
Juan Ferreira
Far from Wakanda.
But it’s getting better.
YIBAMBE!
Overated. Rwanda has 12 million people & has much smaller economy compared to countries with 2 million people like Gabon, Botswana and Nambia and even Equatorial guinea with only 800 000 people has more economy than Rwanda
Just like Colombia and Russia
@@kalahariafrogeopolitikinst7614 Equatorial Guinea is a kleptocracy where the vast majority of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a tiny, oil-rich elite.
Honestly, this is an extremely rare case where giving the president unlimited terms isn’t a completely terrible idea. It definelty screams “dictatorship”, but given how the guy built the country from where it was, and knowing how difficult being an African head of state can be, there’s certainly the justification
Mugabe from Zimbabwe was at first also praised and he did seem great.
But as we all know it didn't work out so well in the end.
@@sjoerdmanshanden5162 and kagame was not harrassed by the west trough sanction and vilification, just because he asked his ancestral land to be given back to his people .
But the problem is that he sets no real rules for succession. He has to set a precedent for future leaders of Rwanda so they can follow his example of how to use power and know when to step down. With those unlimited terms, it makes the government susceptible to corruption. Although the current president probably won't do much corruption, the next one could abuse his power.
@@lukedetering4490 and thats why the terms aren't actually unlimited. It's complicated so I'll try to explain it to the best of my abilities. Essentially, in Rwanda one term was seven years and you could only have 2 terms. Kagame was voted into power in 2003 and in 2010 was re-elected. He never intended to run again, however nearing the end of his second term there side scale demands from the citizens that he stays in power and runs for election again. However since the constitution did not allow this, votes on whether the constitution should be changed happened. The vote was overwhelmingly in favour of the constitution being changed so that he can run for office again. Try to follow along, this is where ot gets a bit complicated. The end result, was that the constitution was changed and he would be able to run for another seven year term, however his would be the last seven year term for any Rwandan president. After his current term ends, he will be able to run a final time for a 5 year term. So starting in 2031(?) There will be a new president and a new term system of a maxim of two 5 year terms will begin once Kagame steps down as president. I hope my explanation makes sense. And don't worry, Kagame himself knows that for the good of the country, there will have to be a new leader at some point and it's one of his goals that by the time he steps down and retire, there will be plenty of suitable candidates that will be able to step up and lead the country into the future.
@@yanndylan2239 pretty good explanation. I get what you're saying completely.

Rwanda's national bird:
THE GREAT BLUE TACO
Are you sure it's not Norway's national bird?
@@rayelgatubelo you miss the joke...
@@erdnasiul87 I joked the joke. Watch the Norway episode.
Shortly post independence, Singapore wanted to be the "Switzerland of Asia". Now, decades later, another African nation thousands of kilometres away yearns to be the "Singapore of Africa". As a Singaporean, I have to say, this is tremendously gratifying.
I can only wish my Rwandan brethren all the best. Full steam ahead!
Man
Singapore is an example to be followed. Congrats!
Regards from Portugal
Well, it's just waiting for the Rwanda of Latin America.
@Kj_mast_er How is that relevant? And since when did I say Singaporeans had it harder?
@Kj_mast_er They call themselves that, you degenerate. They aspire to be like Singapore, a prosperous nation amongst the poor.
@Kj_mast_er I get that you are probably some anti-Singapore bigot, the reason for which eludes me, although I would say that you are some degenerate from a neighbouring South East Asian nation who, like many others, are jealous of Singapore's unprecedented and unparalleled success. This is, however, no reason to go spurring off my genuine compliments with your pre-existing prejudice. It is not my fault, nor is it my country's fault that no one wishes to associate themselves as the "Malaysia of Africa" or the "Indonesia of Africa", the two of which, should any African nation wish to model themselves after, is as good as giving up.
Also, the reason why Rwanda's 1% Asian and White populace was mentioned in the nation's demographics is because "Asians" and "Whites" are races; Muslims are not, and I could not care less if they sit at 1% higher.
Bigots like yourself are why your country is drowning in poverty, and the more you indulge in inane rhetoric like this, the less people will respect you, and your nation.
Pathetic attempt at trolling, seriously.

I watched Hotel Rwanda in history class in high school and I'm really impressed how the historical segment was handled.
It is a good movie but a bad historical source. One of the reason being that the guy was not entirely a good samaritan, rather one who would only accept people after paying him.

The world will be a worse place when this series ends.

I have visited Rwanda several years ago, beautiful country, very clean, safe, air is great no pollution, food is tasty, people are very friendly, and I had great time, the only thing I had a problem with were local traders they would usually charge more or trying to cheat you for an item of lower value if they see you are foreigner, but that kind of stuff is normal in many countries. Overall I had great and fun experience there and will go back again, love Rwanda.
I'm thrilled that you had a great time! Rwanda has worked incredibly hard to recover from it's past, and it's always so nice to hear when foreigners go there and visit. Oh, the traders will definitely do that haha! If you go back you'll find lots of improvements, Rwanda makes huge leaps year after year 😊👍🇷🇼🙏❤️

Nik lmao someone talking crap about Americans knowledge of the world.
Great video! One important thing you could have talked about is Lake Kivu being one of the only 3 exploding lakes in the world (and by far the largest). With a tremendous amount of methane stored under the lake, the gas has the potential of erupting all at once out and into lower lying air surrounding the lake, with the potential of suffocating anythingin the vicinity of the lake (a 2700km² lake mind you, and with 3 heavy population centers surrounding it, in one of the most densely populated regions of africa). It's also the source of a great deal of energy from methane extraction as you mentionned in the video :) Could also have mentionned Louside Mushikiwabo in the famous people list, a minister of foreign affairs, then secretary-general of the Organisation internationale de la francophonie.
Anyway thanks for all this work, I'd been waiting for this video for a long time!

This is great information about Rwanda 🇷🇼However please don’t ever mention the difference in ethnicity of the Rwandan people we chose to put that chapter behind us and live as one. Even just a simple diagram of statistical information about the ethnic difference is delicate 🙏🏽
Rwanda: We have car-free day every 1st and 3rd sunday.
Indonesia: Hold my Luwak Coffee
We have car free day on every Sunday dude
Basically what he said.
Does indonesia has one ?
@@KouNagai Yes, on every sunday but only in certain arterial road. Funny thing is, people love it for recreational reason.
whenever you run out of countries you could always do autonomous territories and other mini states like the isle of man and Puerto Rico.
CrowSader yeah or maybe countries that existed but not around before like Yugoslavia, or controversial territories or travel.
Love to the people of Rwanda from Lebanon 🇷🇼 ❤️ truly inspiring with a bright future indeed
