Are Rwandan Tutsi Ethiopian or Somali?
Are Rwandan tutsi originally from Somalia?
Questions have always been asked! lots of them if the Rwandan and Burundi Tutsi people originated from Ethiopia and Somalia. This video dives into this topic through extensive research to explain their origin.
The tutsi people are thought to have come from Somalia or Ethiopia in the horn of Africa. The tutsi women are also not only thought to be some of the most beautiful in Africa, but are also oftenly confused with the horners. The video tries to answer the questions "are tutsi somali? "are tutsi ethiopian" "did tutsi come from somalia?" "did tutsi come from ethiopia"
It has always remained a mystery whether this group of Rwandan/Rwandese people are of Somali origin and whether they were originally from Somalia. Another question that people should ask themselves could actually be "Are Somalis from Rwanda?"
People tend to think that due to their resemblance(their height and facial features), the tutsi and somali probably share the same ancestry or origins. The tutsi have also resided in the great lakes region of Eastern Africa for a long time, thus assimilating most of the bantu culture, but the question remains, Are Rwandan tutsi bantu, cushitic or nilotes?
