Rwanda Patriotic Front

The Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) is a political organization and military group that was founded in 1987 by Rwandans in exile, primarily to address the plight of Tutsi refugees. It played a key role in ending the Rwandan Genocide in 1994 by overthrowing the genocidal government. Since then, the RPF has been the ruling political party in Rwanda, guiding the country's reconstruction and development efforts. It promotes national unity, stability, and economic growth, though it has also faced criticism regarding political freedoms and governance. Overall, the RPF is central to Rwanda’s recent history and ongoing governance.
