To provide a sense of scale, this land area is roughly 112% of the size of Sydney. Geographically, the Bahamas holds significant importance, ranking as the 28th largest country in the Americas and 161st worldwide in terms of area.<\/p>\n<p>On July 10th, 1973, after 300 years of being a colony, the Bahamas peacefully gained independence and transitioned to nationhood. <\/p>\n<p>Since then, July 10th has been celebrated as a national holiday throughout the archipelago and in Bahamian foreign missions. Previously a British colony, the Bahamas is currently a member of the Commonwealth, just like Rwanda, which joined the Commonwealth in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that Rwandans are not required to apply for visa for entry into the Bahamas.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-58041\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/f0ohpegxoamedgk-c5bd3-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-58042\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/f0ohpefxwaaoaou-0da77.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-58044\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/f0ohpehwaaabzrk-8a9d9.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-58043\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/f0ohpejxsaezmbc-596fe.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{President Paul Kagame has held talks with Prime Minister Philip Edward &#8220;Brave&#8221; Davis of the Bahamas.
