		The state was embodied by the king, known as the Mwami, whose symbol was a sacred drum or kalinga.
		Rwanda had been from time immemorial an independent state, but in 1897 there began sixty-five years of colonial control, first under the Germans, then under the Belgians after the former’s defeat in World War I. It should be noted that in the pre-colonial period social lines were not absolutely rigid.
		The new symbol of Rwanda was no longer the kalinga, but rather an ideology of the one-party state operating through tiers of political control and pass-laws (the need for traveling papers based on ethnicity) stricter than those existing in South Africa.
