Rwanda

Political violence is limited within Rwanda and primarily involves repression of political opposition and journalists speaking against the regime. However, Rwandan military forces are deployed to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where they provide support for the March 23 Movement. Further, Rwanda is heavily involved in multilateral peacekeeping missions and bilateral military operations in Africa.
