Tutsi
The Tutsi are an ethnic group living in the East African states of Rwanda and Burundi as well as in the eastern border area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo .
The nomadic people of the Tutsi had once migrated from the Nile region to the area of the thousand lush hills and had subjugated the farming people of the Hutu . But the Tutsi adopted the Hutu language ( Kinyarwanda ) and culture.
The Tutsi played the dominant role in the recovery from genocide in the existing by 2012 so-called Gacaca -Gerichten.
