Bantu   

Bantu is not a term that refers to a particular tribe or ethnic group, but a term that refers to a group of speakers of a group of languages that are common to each other and are spoken by more than 400 tribes and ethnic groups in a wide range of central and southern Africa. The number is 310 million.

​

Swahili (more than 5 million native speakers, around 40 million all speakers) has the largest number of speakers, but Shona (Lingala) (about 40 million) has the largest number of native speakers. 15 million people) and Zulu (about 10 million people).

​

It is presumed that the Bantu languages were spread by farmers from the vicinity of Cameroon in eastern Nigeria about 2000 years ago.

​

A group of "three ethnic groups" living mainly in Rwanda and Burundi in central Africa (Tutsi and Hutu were originally of the same family)

​

Tutsi  

In the olden days, they ran livestock in the mountains and were blessed with a comparative physique, so despite being a minority, they ruled in Rwanda and Burundi under the indirect rule system during the colonial rule of Germany and Belgium (after World War I). Due to their rank, they began to conflict with Hutu, a family farming group, and in 1994, at least 800,000 to 1 million Tutsi people were slaughtered in the Rwandan Civil War.

Tutsi are cowherds and warriors.

​

Hutu  

Farming group

Since Tutsi and Hutu share the same language and religion, and their cultures are generally similar, Tutsi and Hutu marriages are common (many Tutsi men and Tutsi women are married, and that is the case. The opposite is rare).

​

Tuwa

The oldest pygmy in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa.

The existence of Twa tends to be ignored in discussions about the conflict and conflict between Hutu and Tutsi (Rwandan genocide in 1994), but about 30% of Twa in Rwanda was killed in the conflict.

Tuwa is a semi-nomadic, hunter-gatherer who lives in the forest.

Due to the destruction of nature caused by agricultural land reclamation, deforestation, development plans, and the creation of protected areas, Tuwa was forced to relocate, but most of Tuwa do not own land and live in poverty. Land traditionally inherited from ancestors has never been recognized by the government and no compensation has been paid for the loss of residence.  

Educational opportunities for Twa children are scarce, and there are pygmy historical prejudices, discrimination, violence, and exclusion from society.
