Tutsi et territoire congolais

Depuis quand retrouve-t-on des tutsi sur le territoire du Congo actuel ? Voici la réponse du Copilot à consulter avec précaution, esprit critique. La présence des Tutsis dans l’actuelle République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) remonte à plusieurs décennies [Le nombre de ces décennies n’est pas précisé ici.]. Voici quelques éléments à ce sujet : Origine des Tutsis : Les Tutsis sont un groupe…

[reasoningdaily]

From the demise of heroes to the ascent of new kings, myths and legends are as intricate as they are alluring; each society has a unique tale to tell and a unique method of telling it. A legend is based on some truths that are then exaggerated to the point where actual people or events seem "larger than life." A myth, on the other hand, is symbolic storytelling that is not grounded in reality.

The creator Imana, the creator deity in the traditional Banyarwanda and Burundi religions practiced in Rwanda, Burundi, and other related ethnic groups like the Baha in Tanzania and the Banyamulenge in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was the sole God of the ancient Banyarwanda and Burundi.

Imana, according to their mythology, was the creator and protector of all Banyarwanda and Burundian people. Imana was revered as being all-powerful and kind. In one of the legends, she broke up a fight with a man who routinely avoided paying back debts by borrowing beans from different people.

Imana was the ruler of all living things, and she granted them immortality by slaying the Death Hunter. Death was a ferocious animal that stood in for death. Everyone was instructed to remain hidden while Imana was hunting so that Death would have no one to kill or seek refuge with. But one day, as he was out hunting, an elderly woman snuck into her vegetable garden and took some food. Death scurried under her skirt and followed her into the house.

She passed away due to death. Three days after the old woman's funeral, her hated daughter-in-law noticed cracks where she had been buried as if the old woman would awaken and come to life. She poured dirt into the crevices, pounded the ground with a large pestle, and yelled, "Stay dead!" She repeated the action when she noticed additional grave cracks two days later. Three days later, she could no longer pound dirt into the cracks. This signalled that there would be no more opportunities for men to live again. Death was now endemic or always present. According to a different legend, Imana punished the woman by allowing Death to cohabitate with a man. "Interfering in the normal course of material nature" is not something Imana does.

The Story of Man's Fall

The good Imana is opposed by the dreaded and lethal Ryangombe. This myth relates to the fall of man. Imana made the heavens and the earth when he was all by himself in the beginning. But unlike the heavens, which were a reflection of it, the earth was not the same and was marked by human suffering. But when Imana first created all living things, including people, animals, and plants, they all remained with him in the heavens, and at first, humans coexisted with Imana and consumed Imana's vegetation. And if someone passed away, Imana would revive them in three days. In those early days, humans were mating, life was prosperous, and nobody died. The fall's narrative starts with a woman by the name of Nyinakigwa. She and her husband were childless, which made her sad. She went to Imana and asked him to help her have a child after giving her situation a lot of thought. He listened to her pleas and decided to give her a child. But there was a catch: in exchange for him giving her a child, she was required to keep the child's origin a secret. As a result, Imana gave birth to three children for her: Nyinabatutsi was a daughter, and Kigwa and Lututsi were sons. Nyinakigwa was content right now, and she and her family were all getting along. She did, however, have a sister who shared the same condition and was unable to conceive. She became envious when she learned that her sister was a parent. She begged her sister to tell her where those kids came from and how she could have kids, and she eventually persuaded Nyinakigwa to divulge the kids' ancestry. She then went to Imana to request that he also give her children. Imana was now enraged with him because he had disobeyed.

Knowing she had broken her promise to Imana, Nyinakigwa turned on her kids and killed them. The sky dramatically opened after she had done this and her children had been destroyed, allowing the children to fall to the earth below, where they lived in great hardship and agony. Nyinakigwa was now overcome with sorrow as she realised that her choice had caused her children to live in a place of extreme suffering. The two women ultimately went to Imana and begged for his pardon. Imana thought about their request and agreed that the children would eventually have gone through enough suffering. He then promised that they would return to him in the heavens at that time.

In a different myth, God and a man, one of his creations, had ongoing conversations. Then, one day, God instructed the man that he was not to sleep on a particular night because God would grant him a long life during that time. The man was unaware that a snake had heard what Imana had said. And despite God's warning, the man did fall asleep that fateful night. The snake spoke in the man's place when Imana approached him with his good word and his promise of a new lease on life. Because God mistook the snake for the man, he informed him that he would die but then come back to life and that he would grow old but still shed his skin. All of his descendants would experience the same thing.

The man awoke and kept waiting for God to speak, but nothing happened. Then he turned to God and questioned him about it. Imana realized at that point that the snake had replaced the man. He acknowledged that what had been done was irreversible but noted that men would now kill snakes. However, both the man and his children would pass away. The snake, however, would lose its skin and reappear.

ETHNIES AFRICAINES AYANT DES ORIGINES D'ÉGYPTE ANCIENNE Rwanda - BaNyarwanda (Les gens du Rwanda) ☀️Les BaNyarwanda sont originaires de la vallée du Nil, ils parlent le KiNyarwanda, et adoraient un seul Dieu, Imana. Les baNyarwanda professent que l’Univers entier fut cr��é par Imana. ☀️La vénération du Créateur bienfaiteur constituait l'un des piliers du Vitalisme Rwandais. 🧚🏿‍♀️🧚🏿‍♂️ Comme partout en Afrique, Dieu pour les Rwandais était aussi l’Energie qui fait fonctionner de manière cyclique la création entière.🌀🧿♀️🌀☀️ C’est à partir du nom de Dieu chez les Rwandais que l’on a pu restituer le nom de Dieu chez les Égyptiens anciens. Les Medu Ntjer (Hiéroglyphes) écrivent ce nom "Imn", les Égyptiens n’avaient pas l’habitude de transcrire toutes les voyelles. C’est en mettant "Imn" dans son contexte africain, qu’on a abouti à "Imana". C’est Imana, qui est devenu Amen/Amin dans les traditions judéo-chrétiennes et islamiques, marquant les emprunts inavoués des étrangers à l’Afrique en matière de religion. 😉🧙🏻‍♂️ En Égypte ancienne, pour devenir un ancêtre bienfaiteur, il fallait prouver dans la salle du jugement dernier que l’on avait obéit aux préceptes de Maât (les lois bienfaitrices), à l'identique, pour les baNyarwanda et comme dans toutes les traditions Africaines, à la mort il y a séparation entre le corps charnel et l’esprit/âme/énergie. Cette partie invisible est appelée Umuzimu. ☀️🌀 Si le défunt a fait le bien de son vivant, est mort en paix avec ses proches et a obéit au Kubandwa (les lois bienfaitrices pour les baNyarwanda), il devient un ancêtre justifié auquel on s’adresse pour requérir protection. 🧙🏿‍♂️ #rwanda#egypteancienne#valleedunil#banyarwanda#kinyarwanda#spiritualiteafricaine#memoiresafricaines#imana#umuzimu#kubandwa#maat##Ecolekatiopa☀️ @grandeurnoire https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw742xgA6yf/?igshid=7p5ucmacn21p

Tutsi people

3. Tutsi hairstyle called amasunzu, 1923 5. Tutsi woman, 1957

The Tutsi (/ˈtʊtsi/; Rwanda-Rundi pronunciation: [ɑ.βɑ.tuː.t͡si]), or Abatutsi, are a Bantu speaking, social class or ethnic group of the African Great Lakes region. Historically, they were often referred to as the Watutsi, Watusi, Wahuma, Wahima or the Wahinda. The Tutsi form a subgroup of the Banyarwanda and the Barundi people, who reside primarily in Rwanda and Burundi, but with significant populations also found in DR Congo, Tanzania and Uganda.

Tutsis are the second largest population division among the three largest groups in Rwanda and Burundi; the other two being the Hutu (largest) and the Twa (smallest). Small numbers of Hema and Kiga people also live near the Tutsi in Rwanda. The Northern Tutsi who reside in Rwanda are called Ruguru (Banyaruguru), while southern Tutsi who live in Burundi are known as Hima, the Banyamulenge who live in mulenge mountains.

Rwanda

#DYK #Rwandans are drawn from just one cultural and linguistic group, the #Banyarwanda. However, within this group, there are three subgroups: the #Hutu, #Tutsi and #Twa. #Rwanda

Rwanda, officially the Republic of Rwanda, is a landlocked country in the Great Rift Valley, where the African Great Lakes region and East Africa converge. One of the smallest countries on the African mainland, its capital city is Kigali. Located a few degrees south of the Equator, Rwanda is bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is highly elevated,…

⭐⭐⭐Deities⭐⭐⭐

⭐ In Wicca, the deities are gods or goddesses that we follow and worship. There are so many deities that you could follow and many ways that you can choose to see and worship them. There are no right or wrong choices here. It simply depends on what feels right to you- which deities you feel drawn to and also the path that you decide to take as a Witch. ⭐ Do not be put off Wicca because the idea of having a god or goddess doesn’t feel like your thing. Following deities is actually very simple. A lot of Wiccans don’t think of gods and goddesses as actual people, higher beings, someone that once existed or as all-knowing creators of everything. Instead, we view deities as personifications of nature. Each deity represents a different aspect of something that we experience on this earth, including the natural world; there is a god or goddess to represent every single aspect of the earth and all that comes with it. It becomes easier to connect with nature if we see aspects of it in human form, because we find it easier to understand and visualize looking up to, listening to and communicating with people. So, we see deities as just human forms of nature. For example, the Armenian deity Anahit is the goddess of fertility,healing,wisdom, and water, and we think of her as the personification of these elements and powers and the spiritual energies surrounding them. Of course, you can also believe in deities in the traditional way, as supernatural powers that keep whatever they represent and look after in balance; that’s just another way of believing in your deities. ⭐ Some witches might follow a group or pantheon of deities such as the Celtic, Norse or Egyptian gods and goddesses. It’s also a common idea that gods and goddesses from different pantheons represent similar things, so they are actually similar deities that have originated from and developed and adapted in different civilizations and cultures throughout the world. If you believe this train of thought and you are happy to potentially honour all of the deities, depending on which feels right for you at the time, you could be an eclectic witch , or you could just choose one group of deities to work with if you prefer and still follow this belief, but just choose one pantheon that suits you best and you feel drawn to. Some witches only worship one or two deities and others may choose to work with one god or goddess if the pull towards that one deity seems sufficient. Some witches follow the traditional Gardnerian teaching, believing there is only one god and one goddess- the god of the sun and the goddess of the moon. There are so many deities deities that you can follow from different cultures and countries. Don’t worry if it takes you a while to find which gods and goddesses feel right for you. You can worship deities from anywhere in the world, but there are a few common ones that you hear about frequently in Wicca. This doesn’t mean that you have to follow these ones, there are just a few of the options:

(ALSO YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO WORK WITH ANY DEITY/GOD OR GODDESS, MAKE YOUR CRAFT YOUR OWN <3 )

Umwe muri aba banyarwanda uba muri Canada yagaragaje bimwe mu bikorwa bya David Himbara.

Ati “Umwaka ushize umuntu uwitwa Himabara yaduteye avuga ko dukorana n’inzego z’ubutasi bw’u Rwanda, ngo hari abafande baza kutwigisha kwica, ibintu byinshi cyane…”

Yavuze ko ibi batabyihereranye ahubwo ko bahise babibwira abayobozi babo kugira ngo ariya matwara ye adakomeza kuyacengeza mu bana b’u Rwanda.

Ati “Twebwe ubwacu dushobora kwirinda ariko dukeneye amaboko yanyu bayobozi bacu kugira ngo dushyiremo imbaraga nka Diyasipora.”

Uyu munyarwanda wagaragaje imigambi mibisha bariya bantu bafitiye u Rwanda, yavuze ko abanyarwanda bagera ku ikenda (9) bamaze kwicwa bazira ko bakunda igihugu cyabo kandi bakigenderera.

Ati “Uyu mwaka utararangira, twashyinguye umuyobozi wacu muri Mozambique , none ndabaza nti ‘twakora dute kugira ngo iryo hohotera rigabanuke muri twebwe?’, cyane cyane abantu baza ino bafite ibikorwa ino mu Rwanda.”

Yavuze ko abantu bitabira umushyikirano, Rwanda day n’abandi bakunda kugaragara mu bikorwa byo gushyigikira igihugu cyabo bakunze guterwa ubwoba n’abanzi b’igihugu. Ati “None ni iki mwadufasha mwebwe abo muri Minisiteri kugira ngo dutekane?”

Aba baba muri Diyasipora nyarwanda bafatwa nk’abagize intara ya Gatandatu y’u Rwanda, banagarutse ku bikorwa byo gupfobya Jenoside bikunze kuranga bari batavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi bw’u Rwanda.

Umwe muri aba bo muri Diyasipora yavuze ko bibabaje kuba nta muntu upfobya Jenoside yakorewe Abayawudi, ariko habakaba hari abirirwa bahakana Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi.

Ati “Twakora iki kugira ngo uzapfobya Jenoside yakorewe abacu azabihanirwe bikwiye?”

Umuyobozi wa Diyaspora nyarwanda, Sandrine Uwimbabazi Maziyateke yavuze ko bagiye gukorana na za Ambasade zitandukanye z’u Rwanda kugira ngo bahanahane amakuru ya nyayo bityo n’abakora ibikorwa nk’ibi babiryozwe.

Avuga ko bagiye guhagurukira gukoresha imbuga nkoranyambaga mu kunyomoza bariya bantu kuko na bo bakunze kuzikoresha.

Umunyamabanga wa Leta muri Minisiteri y’Ububanyi n’Amahanga, Amb. Nduhungirehe Olivier yavuze ko nubwo hari abanyarwanda bo muri diyasipora bagiye bagirirwa nabi ariko ko biri kugenda bicogora babikesha kwishyira hamwe.

Ati “Ni ngombwa ko Abanyarwanda batekereza kwishyira hamwe kugira ngo Guverinoma z’ibyo bihugu Abanyarwanda bari zigire aho zihagarara, kugira ngo iyo babonye Abanyarwanda bahohotewe maze hakagira igikorwa.”

Amb. Nduhungirehe kandi yavuze ko aba banyarwanda bari hanze badakwiye gucika intege kubera ibikorwa bya bariya bantu ahubwo ko bakwiye guhaguruka bakaba abavugizi b’igihugu cyabo kugira ngo abanenga u Rwanda baburizwemo.

Minisitiri w’ububanyi n’Amahanga, Dr Vincent Biruta wagarutse ku bikorwa byo gupfobya Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi, yavuze ko guhangana na bo bikwiye kuba urugamba rwa buri wese kandi agakoresha uburyo bwose bushoboka kugira ngo ukuri gukomeze kugaragara.

Ati “Yaba muri Social media, kandi nta n’ubwo biba bikomeye kuko bariya bantu nta mbaraga baba bafite.”

Mu myanzuro y’Inama y’Igihugu y’Umushyikirano, harimo ugaruka ku ruhare rw’abanyarwanda bo muri Diyasipora, ko bagomba gushakirwa uburyo bakomeza kugira uruhare mu iterambere ry’igihugu.
