Okay, so I have to do a year long project on Rwanda - and now we have to find some recent (past few years - now) issue. I have been reading that Rwanda wants to join a commonwealth - which I kind of understand to be an "independent state." I don't get it - I thought it already was independent after Belgium decolonized. So why does Rwanda want to join? I also heard that the human rights in Rwanda has interfered with the joining of a commonwealth. How? Why? Please help!
Answer:Rwanda is an independent country. It wants to join the Commonwealth of Nations, which is to say the British Commonwealth, which used to be the British Empire. As a member of this commonwealth it will still be an independent nation, but it will enjoy other benefits that are afforded to other commonwealth nations. Rwanda wants to do this in an attempt to improve its economic standing in the world.
I just finished watching Hotel Rwanda, and then I did some looking around on the internet, but I can't really find answers to my question. How different is the movie from what really happened? How much of the movie was Hollywoodized? Did the movie makers change a lot?
Answer:Paul's work is dramatized in the 2004 movie Hotel Rwanda in which he is played by Don Cheadle. There are few differences with the actual story. * Tatiana Rusesabagina was not really angry about Paul putting her and her children on a truck to escape the Hôtel des Mille Collines but was instead sad about the decision - which she nevertheless accepted due to the circumstances. Paul did not make his decision at the last moment, but rather he discussed the matter with Tatiana and the children the night before the attempted evacuation. * Tatiana was so badly beaten after leaving the hotel 'she lay in bed for two weeks unable to turn herself'. * Paul and his family did not leave Rwanda immediately after they escaped the Hôtel des Mille Collines. * "Paul's mother is Tutsi although he and his father are Hutu; the film says he is Hutu with no mention of his mixed background." * Paul Rusesabagina said in a lecture that the film was "less violent" than the actual genocide, claiming that "you couldn't invite someone to watch the real thing."
Currently, I am working on a nation project on Rwanda. Despite my luck with finding information, I can't seem to find the currency. I need a picture, what it's worth compared to in american dollars, and what it's called. Please, this is highly appreciated.

My kid is representing Rwanda in our World Communion Sunday service, and needs to make a bread recipe typical of Rwanda. Thank you for any help you can give us.
Answer:HONEY BREAD (Rwanda) Ingredients: 1 pkt active dry yeast · 1 egg · 4 -4½ cups all-purpose flour · 1 cup lukewarm milk · ½ cup honey · ¼ cup lukewarm water · 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted · 1 Tbsp ground coriander · 1½ tsp salt · ½ tsp ground cinnamon · ¼ tsp ground cloves METHOD: In a small, shallow bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm water. Let the mixture stand for 2-3 minutes and then stir to dissolve the yeast completely. Set the bowl in a warm, draft-free place for approximately 5 minutes or until the yeast bubbles up and the mixture almost doubles in volume. Combine the egg, honey, coriander, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a deep bowl. Mix together with a wire whisk or spoon. Add the yeast mixture, milk and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. Beat until the ingredients are well blended. Stir in the flour, ½ a cup at a time, using only as much as is necessary to make a dough that can be gathered into a soft ball. When the dough becomes too stiff to stir easily, blend in the additional flour with your fingers. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough by folding it end to end, then pressing it down and pushing it forward several times with the heel of your hand. Rub your hands with a little melted butter if the dough sticks to the board or your fingers, but do not use any extra flour lest the dough becomes stiff and hard. Continue kneading for approximately 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a large, lightly buttered bowl. Drape a kitchen towel over the bowl and set in a warm, draft-free spot for approximately 1 hour or until the dough rises and doubles in bulk. With a pastry brush, spread the remaining melted butter evenly over the bottom and sides of a 3-quart soufflé dish or other round 3-quart baking dish at least 3 inches deep. Punch the dough down with a single blow of your fist, and then knead it again for 1-2 minutes. Shape the dough roughly into a round and place it in the buttered baking dish, pressing it down into the corners so that it covers the bottom of the dish completely. Return the dough to the warm, draft-free place for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in bulk and risen at least as high as the top rim of the dish. Pre-heat the oven to 300o F. Bake the bread in the middle of the oven for 50-60 minutes, until the top is crusty and light golden brown. Turn the honey bread out of the pan onto a cake rack to cool. Serve while still somewhat warm or allow to cool completely. Traditionally eaten spread with butter and honey.
