Kigali is the capital and largest city of Rwanda, home to approximately 1.3 million residents. It operates on Central Africa Time (CAT, UTC+2), a fixed year-round offset. Rwanda is perhaps the most remarkable story of post-conflict recovery in modern history — just 30 years after the 1994 genocide, in which approximately 800,000 people were killed in 100 days, Rwanda has become one of Africa's most stable, fastest-growing, and well-governed nations. Kigali is widely cited as one of Africa's cleanest and most organised cities — plastic bags have been banned since 2008, and the city holds regular community clean-up days (Umuganda). Rwanda has one of the highest proportions of women in parliament in the world (over 60%). The Kigali Genocide Memorial preserves the history of the tragedy and receives hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Rwanda's gorilla trekking industry in Volcanoes National Park is the country's leading tourism revenue source.
