ツチ族 (Tutsi) is an ethnic group primarily found in Rwanda and Burundi. They are known for their historical role in the region's social and political structures, often associated with cattle herding and agriculture. The Tutsi have a distinct cultural identity, including language and traditions, and have historically been in a complex relationship with the Hutu ethnic group. The Tutsi people faced significant challenges during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, where a large portion of the population was targeted and killed. This tragic event has had lasting effects on the region, influencing both the social dynamics and the political landscape of East Africa today.
