   In Rwanda, two factors make land a highly important and contested issue. First,
   Rwanda has the highest person-to-land ratio in Africa. This creates tremendous
   pressure on land in a country where most of the population lives in rural areas, and
   where agriculture remains the central economic activity. Second, Rwanda is recovering
   from massive population shifts caused by decades of ethnic strife and the 1994 civil war
   and genocide, which resulted in displaced populations and overlapping land claims.
