The Bantu-speaking group in Rwanda is known as the Tutsi, which is a five-letter word. The Tutsi are an ethnic group of people who have lived in Rwanda for centuries and are believed to have descended from a Nilotic pastoralist population. They are traditionally cattle herders and are known for their tall stature and light skin. The Tutsi have historically been the ruling class in Rwanda, and have been involved in conflicts with the Hutu majority.
