Editing Tutsi (section)

=== Banyarwanda in North Kivu and South Kivu ===
A second Tutsi presence is found among the broader [[Banyarwanda]] community in parts of [[North Kivu]] and the Kalehe region of South Kivu. This community, which includes both Tutsi and Hutu, is largely the result of multiple migratory waves from neighboring [[Rwanda]], occurring over the pre-colonial, colonial, and post-genocide periods. In particular, the mass exodus during and after the [[Rwandan Genocide]] of 1994 is well documented and has significantly reshaped the ethnic landscape in eastern Congo.<ref>Uvin, Peter.
