The origin, evolution and consequences of inter-ethnic conflicts

By: Kyaka, Paluku Live-Rive

Kinyarwanda (Rwandan language) speakers settled in Masisi territory and later in Rutshuru territory. In the first territory, the presence is partly due to the Belgian colonial power that transplanted the Hutus from Rwanda to Congo. Illegal immigrants joined this group and "colonized" the Masisi demographically. In Rutshuru, the current inhabitants crossed the volcanic zone of Mikeno and others to settle in the Bugesera plain. The culture of these people has clashed with that of the indigenous Hunde in both Masisi and Rutshuru. This confrontation did not go smoothly. With the advent of politics and the rise of the demographic rate as well as the movement of other tribes, the confrontation became more and more pronounced. The Hutus have noticed that the Nandes are settled in Goma, Rutshuru and even Nyiragongo without being able to access the territory of Lubero and Beni. This has resulted in frustration and mistrust on both sides.
