Thus, the Hutu and Tutsi are both nations. A state, on the other hand, is a sovereign political entity with a well-defined territory. States with 35 36 Rwanda multiple nations are called multination states. Those nations that are divided by political boundaries are called multistate nations.

Overpopulation is a value judgment. The concept suggests that the amount of land is inadequate to support the existing population. Many people consider Rwanda overpopulated. Underpopulation, on the other hand, is a condition in which, given the available land resources, there are too few people to permit effective exploitation to improve livelihood. In such a situation, population increase is considered desirable. Most experts consider Canada to be underpopulated. However, population density is not directly tied to overpopulation.

But did 33 34 Rwanda the shortage of land recruit and arm all those responsible for the genocide? To what extent can we blame the deadly conflict on population pressure? Keep thinking about that.
