Explanation

Rwanda is the African country most notoriously associated with violent ethnic conflict between Hutus and Tutsis, culminating in the 1994 Rwandan genocide where approximately 800,000 people (mostly Tutsis) were killed in 100 days. Burundi also has Hutu-Tutsi tensions, but Rwanda's conflict was far more extreme and internationally significant. Nigeria and Sudan have different ethnic/religious conflicts.
