Government of the Republic of Rwanda is a VC fund focused on Finance and Internet. For centuries, Rwanda existed as a centralized monarchy under a succession of Tutsi kings from one clan, who ruled through cattle chiefs, land chiefs and military chiefs. The king was supreme but the rest of the population, Bahutu, Batutsi and Batwa, lived in symbiotic harmony. In 1899, Rwanda became a German colony and, in 1919, the system ofindirect rule continued with Rwanda as a mandate territory of the League of Nations, under Belgium.
