Kigali was a small village in 785BC, but it was about to become something much bigger. The people of Kigali had been living in relative peace and prosperity for centuries, but now they were ready to take the next step and expand their city-state.
The first step was to build a wall around the city. This was a difficult task, as the terrain was rugged and the resources were limited. But the people of Kigali were determined and they worked hard to construct a sturdy wall that would protect their city from outside threats.
Once the wall was complete, the people of Kigali began to expand their city. They built roads and bridges, and constructed new buildings and homes. They also began to cultivate the land around the city, growing crops and raising livestock.
The expansion of Kigali was a slow process, but it was steady and sure. Over time, the city-state grew in size and power. As it did, the people of Kigali began to develop their own culture and traditions. They created their own language and developed their own laws and customs.
The expansion of Kigali was a remarkable achievement. It was a testament to the hard work and determination of the people of Kigali, and it laid the foundation for the city-state that would become one of the most powerful in the region.
