 20th Century Genocides - Genocide in Rwanda
Rwanda is one of the smallest countries in Central Africa, with just 7 million people, and is comprised of two main ethnic groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi.
Although the Hutus account for 90 percent of the population, in the past, the Tutsi minority was considered the aristocracy of Rwanda and dominated Hutu peasants for decades, especially while Rwanda was under Belgian colonial rule.
Ethnic tensions in Rwanda were significantly heightened in October 1993 upon the assassination of Melchior Ndadaye, the first popularly elected Hutu president of neighboring Burundi.

The World Factbook is not a gazetteer (a dictionary or index of places, usually with descriptive or statistical information) and cannot provide more than the names of the administrative divisions (in the Government category) and major cities/towns (on the country maps).
Taiwan is listed after the regular entries because even though the mainland People's Republic of China claims Taiwan, elected Taiwanese authorities de facto administer the island and reject mainland sovereignty claims.

 danieldrezner.com :: Daniel W. Drezner :: Regarding the "stinginess" of American aid
President Bush was correct in pointing out that the U.S. is the largest provider of "humanitarian relief aid" in terms of total dollars -- in 2003, the U.S. gave $2.478 billion (all figures courtesy of CGD's David Roodman, who plucked them from the OECD's Development Assistance Committee).
I was watching Fox earlier, and they listed the contributions of other countries, and the commentator was too embarrassed to mention America's "generous 35 million", and just said we are donating a lot of other resources (which is true).
The real point here was the complete political ineptitude of your president in the face of a huge international crisis (not that his muppet Blair faired much better) which was compounded by mentioning a figure for aid which was just twice what Amazon has raised in 48 hours.
