==History== thumb|Mountain Muhavura The Batwa are believed to have been the earliest inhabitants of East Africa together with the Bambuti of Mt.Rwenzori and Ndorobo of Kenya. They do not lead a permanent settled life. The Bahutu are Bantu and are believed to have migrated from the Congo around AD 1000. They entered Rwanda from the northwest. The Origin of Batutsi is part Nilotic/Cushitic assimilated in Bantu. Some say they migrated through Karagwe in northern Tanzania. Others say that their origin could have been either Sudan or Ethiopia. This is because of the Batutsi semblance to the Iraqw people and Masai people. However because of continuous intermarriages there are no clear distinctions between these groups as all live in harmony as Bafumbira. The Bahutu, Batutsi, and Batwa are the three indigenous groups that make up the Bafumbira, they are essentially Banyarwanda and speak Kinyarwanda.
