Post-Colonial Governments in Africa

Question 2 • CSD Summer 2026 Human Geography

What do Rwanda and Sudan have in common?

Answer

Both countries have experienced ethnic conflict that led to genocide.

Both countries were formed from splits in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Both countries were granted their independence at the Berlin Conference.

Both countries contain diamond deposits that were discovered in the early 1970s.

Explanation

Rwanda experienced the 1994 genocide, in which extremist Hutus targeted Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Sudan also experienced severe ethnic and political violence, including the Darfur genocide. The other choices are incorrect: neither country formed from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Berlin Conference did not grant them independence, and the diamond-discovery claim does not describe both countries.
