Population

The combined population of Rwanda and Burundi was about 13 million in 1994. However, many refugees fled Rwanda that year from the Rwandan genocide. 800,000 Tutsis were killed but, many Rwandese Tutsi returned from Uganda after the Hutu army was defeated in 1994 bringing the population of Tutsi back up to nearly 11 million.
