One similarity is both the countries had the Germans in their country at about the same time. A difference that I found is that Kenya had people a lot earlier than
Rwanda.

I didn't see any similarities but I did notice a difference. The difference was that Ethiopia had people living in its country before Ghana. When I was researching information for this it actually said that Ethiopia was one of the earliest places people lived. Most of the early settlers and tribes in Ghana came years after the people living in Ethiopia. This doesn't prove or say anything but most of the settlers and tribes from Ghana lived their in
AD. A ton of people from Ethiopia were around in BC or early AD.
