I am a human rights lawyer who spent many years working for the UN Tribunal for Rwanda and lived and became intimately acquainted with the countries rich history and tumultuous past.  I believe that Rwanda is important to study to begin to open students eyes to so many global issues, from gaining an understanding of the effects of colonialism, to studying the social warnings of impending atrocities and civil upheaval in a country, to understanding how a country can recover from massive unrest and tragic atrocities being committed, to understanding how ethnic tensions can divide and whether those divisions can be healed, to understanding how post colonial interventions from outside countries can be useful or painful to newly independent countries, this country study is ripe with lessons for the global learner.
