What makes them so prosperous and developed (relative to most sub-Saharan countries) despite being a landlocked country, having very limited resource and have faced one of the worst genocide in mid-90s?
Paul Kagame. Guy is a force of nature surrounded by mostly competent guys.

They have a workaholic culture similar to that of Germany

You have to understand they've always had very dense populations for their region given their soil fertility (from volcanoes unlike most African tropical soils), relative temperate climate (given their elevation), relative lack of disease (malaria and other tropical diseases while existent weren't like Eastern DRC) but most importantly were a highly stratified society that was rooted in strict resource restriction by the elite.
The genocide got the whole world's attention afterwords and their president has an iron fist in keeping his nation open enough for outside investment. They also freely give education to women and women are in leadership which is good for economies rather than just have half the population be poor and uneducated unable to survive in city environments and make a secondary or primary wage for households.

This, Paul Kagame is like a black Lee Kuan Yew

>very limited resources
Except for the massive loads of minerals and other resources they have been looting out of DR Congo for decades now. Rwanda offers a relatively stable and US aligned pathway for resources from unstable eastern Congo to pass into international markets.
They are a small country, with enough sense to use the wealth they get from looting to build up infrastructure, instead of all of it going to the government.

>OP doesn't know that Rwanda is the African Prussia
Someone post the epic greentext pls.
Also, they are one of the main forces behind the EAC (East African Coalition). An EU for Africa that will likely form in 10-15 years to counter Chinese colonialist ambitions.

thats getting closer to reality, yeah.
And how does a country make it to be a regional military superpower? where oh where in the history of Rwanda should one look for a means to arm an african nation against other african nations, and what would we expect to find there?
colonialism is not a matter of ownership on paper, it has far reaching consequences.
Ill spare you the lookups: belgian church, cocacola money. So german understanding of state and power, american money and export market. Add a bit of war, cook for a few years: well armed pillar of stability, let the diamonds flow.
