The Hutu are an ethnic group primarily found in Rwanda and Burundi. They make up the majority of the population in these countries and are traditionally farmers. The Hutu culture is rich in oral traditions, music, and dance, which play significant roles in their community life. Historically, the Hutu have had a complex relationship with the Tutsi, another ethnic group in the region. Tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi escalated in the 1990s, culminating in the tragic Rwandan Genocide of 1994, where hundreds of thousands of Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed. This event has had lasting impacts on the region's social and political landscape.
