Listen "Rwanda's Comeback"
Episode Synopsis
After a brutal genocide in 1994, Rwanda came back to be a thriving and sustainable country within a short space of time. Considering Rwanda’s difficult history comprising of colonialism and genocide, it’s encouraging to see one million people lifted out of poverty, women being elevated in society and life expectancy doubling. However there is a shadow lingering over Rwanda's rapid comeback- a number of human rights issues.
