Twa
The Twa (also Cwa) are any of several African hunting peoples or castes who live interdependently with agricultural Bantu populations, and who generally hold a socially subordinate position: They provide the farming population with game in exchange for agricultural products.
Name
Abatwa/Abathwa/Batwa is a derivative root word common to the Bantu language group. It is often supposed that the Pygmies were the aboriginal inhabitants of the forest before the advent of agriculture. Vansina argues that the original meaning of the (Proto-Bantu) word *Twa was "hunter-gatherer, bushpeople", and that this became conflated with another root for Twa/Pygmy, *Yaka (as in Ba-Yaka). As the Twa caste developed into full-time hunter-gatherers, the words were conflated, and the ritual role of the absorbed aboriginal peoples was transferred to the Twa.
The most common contemporary usage of the word is among the Zulu speaking population of South Africa where it takes on a meaning of dwarf or Bushmen in reference to the former hunter-gatherers of the region. There are still peoples of South Africa that identify as Abatwa in the Drakensberg Mountains region and around Chrissiesmeer (see ǁXegwi language).

The Batwa People of East Africa | World’s Shortest Tribe
Hello Awesome people, "Originally, Batwa were forest-dwelling hunter-gatherers based in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, and are widely accepted as the original inhabitants of the region. As their traditional forest lands and territories fell under the control of agro-industries and conservation agencies, the Batwa became squatters living on the edges of society. The establishment of the Bwindi and Mgahinga National Parks for Mountain Gorillas in 1991 enabled the authorities to evict the Batwa definitely from the forest. The Batwa in Uganda (today) experience systematic and pervasive discrimination from the government and other sectors of society, and their rights as indigenous peoples are neither recognized nor respected". #eunicetess #uganda #batwa #batwapeople #forestpeo...

Batwa Pygmies: The World's Shortest Tribe You've Never Heard Of!
Have you heard of the Batwa? The Batwa People are also known as Pygmies. Do you know that they are considered shortest people in the world? They are an indigenous group living in the rainforests of Africa. I have visited the Batwa in Uganda. Recently their lives have turned into a nightmare. For centuries the Batwa lived deep in the African jungle. Their unique culture was often overlooked, until 1992. The reason? To protect the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the world famous Virunga Mountains. The Batwa had to leave the rainforest they shared with the great apes for ages. Nowadays, they strive to preserve their heritage in the modern world. You can visit the Batwa and learn about their tragic fate. Despite their troubles, they have a rich cultural heritage tha...

Who is ordering continuous attacks against Batwa people in DRC? | DW News
An indigenous community called the 'Batwa' in the Democratic Republic of Congo claim they are being brutally forced out of their native land. The community live in the Kahuzi Biega National Park - a UNESCO world heritage site. An investigation by the Minority Rights Group has found a deadly three-year campaign by park guards and soldiers to expel the Batwa people. The Batwa say they have been tortured, raped and murdered. The Minority Rights Group report also found that park authorities continue to receive funding from foreign governments like the US and Germany, as well as conservation groups -- despite being made aware of the atrocities since 2019. We put these allegations to the relevant authorities. The National Park Director, De-Dieu Bya'Ombe wrote to DW saying - 'there had ne...

Have you heard of the Batwa? The Batwa People are also known as Pygmies. Do you know that they are considered shortest people in the world? They are an indigenous group living in the rainforests of Africa. I have visited the Batwa in Uganda. Recently their lives have turned into a nightmare.
For centuries the Batwa lived deep in the African jungle. Their unique culture was often overlooked, until 1992. The reason? To protect the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the world famous Virunga Mountains. The Batwa had to leave the rainforest they shared with the great apes for ages. Nowadays, they strive to preserve their heritage in the modern world. You can visit the Batwa and learn about their tragic fate.
Despite their troubles, they have a rich cultural heritage that is deeply intertwined with the forests they call home. From their unique language to their hunting and gathering skills, the Batwa Pygmies have a way of life that is both simple and profound.
One of the most significant aspects of the Batwa Pygmies' lifestyle is their deep connection to the land. They rely on the forest for food, medicine, and shelter, making them expert conservationists and stewards of the environment. Their resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity are truly inspiring.
They used to use huts like this in the jungle. Their culture is unlike any other, filled with traditions and practices that have been passed down for generations. Like honey gathering, making fire, and hunting. It’s a tribe that is residing in the Great Lakes region of Africa.
In the nineties they were displaced from their ancestral lands, where they have lived for thousands of years. Even now, they still lack recognition by the governments of both Uganda and Congo.
If you visit the gorillas, you can also visit the Batwa, or at least a small group of them. Be aware, there are many tours that you can book. Most of them cost a lot of money, but don’t show the real life of the Batwa. There is only one genuine: it is called The Batwa Experience. They show their old way of life, but you can also talk to them about their life. They have a small piece of land for the tours, but they can not live on it.
During my visit I met a big group, but the most special were four 90 year old Batwa. They have lived in the rainforest for centuries and have endured all the recent changes. They are now forced to live in houses, have no gardens to grow crops and have limited access to education and healthcare. With help of a local guide I could talk to them. This was one of the most inspiring talks I ever had.
The Batwa now use dance and music to express their feelings, but also to show their rich culture. Pygmy tribe's dance rituals are not just for entertainment but hold deep cultural significance in resolving disputes. They sing about their life, their struggles and their future.
My best tip is to support organisations working towards their empowerment. I encourage you to take the time to learn more about indigenous tribes like the Batwa. So if you visit the mountain gorillas, visit also the Batwa. It is definitely worth it. Share your thoughts or experiences in the comments below and let's continue the conversation about the importance of preserving cultural diversity.

An indigenous community called the 'Batwa' in the Democratic Republic of Congo claim they are being brutally forced out of their native land. The community live in the Kahuzi Biega National Park - a UNESCO world heritage site.
An investigation by the Minority Rights Group has found a deadly three-year campaign by park guards and soldiers to expel the Batwa people. The Batwa say they have been tortured, raped and murdered.
The Minority Rights Group report also found that park authorities continue to receive funding from foreign governments like the US and Germany, as well as conservation groups -- despite being made aware of the atrocities since 2019.
We put these allegations to the relevant authorities. The National Park Director, De-Dieu Bya'Ombe wrote to DW saying - 'there had never been any targeted violence in the park and that he had never ordered such attacks. He said he was a victim of a conspiracy to get rid of him as park director.'
Germany’s Ministry of Development is calling for an independent investigation and released this statement - 'We take these allegations very seriously. If they are correct, there will be consequences, including Germany's support of the national park.'

WORLD SHORTEST Tribe | The Batwa Pygmies
Originally, Batwa were forest-dwelling hunter-gatherers based in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, and are widely accepted as the original inhabitants of the region. As their traditional forest lands and territories fell under the control of agro-industries and conservation agencies, the Batwa became squatters living on the edges of society. The establishment of the Bwindi and Mgahinga National Parks for Mountain Gorillas in 1991 enabled the authorities to evict the Batwa definitely from the forest.

Hello Awesome people,
"Originally, Batwa were forest-dwelling hunter-gatherers based in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, and are widely accepted as the original inhabitants of the region. As their traditional forest lands and territories fell under the control of agro-industries and conservation agencies, the Batwa became squatters living on the edges of society. The establishment of the Bwindi and Mgahinga National Parks for Mountain Gorillas in 1991 enabled the authorities to evict the Batwa definitely from the forest. The Batwa in Uganda (today) experience systematic and pervasive discrimination from the government and other sectors of society, and their rights as indigenous peoples are neither recognized nor respected".

The Oscar-nominated documentary Virunga exposed the threat to gorillas in Congo, but in neighbouring Uganda the Batwa – who have shared forests with mountain gorillas for generations – face a struggle for survival.

The creation of national parks has seen tourism boom, though the Batwa have been forcibly evicted from their land. Now, charities are calling for community tourism projects to help the Batwa benefit from the money being made in what used to be their home.

Have you heard of the Batwa? The Batwa People are also known as Pygmies. Do you know that they are considered shortest people in the world? They are an indigenous group living in the rainforests of Africa. I have visited the Batwa in Uganda. Recently their lives have turned into a nightmare.
For centuries the Batwa lived deep in the African jungle. Their unique culture was often overlooked, until 1992. The reason? To protect the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the world famous Virunga Mountains. The Batwa had to leave the rainforest they shared with the great apes for ages. Nowadays, they strive to preserve their heritage in the modern world. You can visit the Batwa and learn about their tragic fate.
Despite their troubles, they have a rich cultural heritage that is deeply intertwined with the forests they call home. From their unique language to their hunting and gathering skills, the Batwa Pygmies have a way of life that is both simple and profound.
One of the most significant aspects of the Batwa Pygmies' lifestyle is their deep connection to the land. They rely on the forest for food, medicine, and shelter, making them expert conservationists and stewards of the environment. Their resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity are truly inspiring.
They used to use huts like this in the jungle. Their culture is unlike any other, filled with traditions and practices that have been passed down for generations. Like honey gathering, making fire, and hunting. It’s a tribe that is residing in the Great Lakes region of Africa.
In the nineties they were displaced from their ancestral lands, where they have lived for thousands of years. Even now, they still lack recognition by the governments of both Uganda and Congo.
If you visit the gorillas, you can also visit the Batwa, or at least a small group of them. Be aware, there are many tours that you can book. Most of them cost a lot of money, but don’t show the real life of the Batwa. There is only one genuine: it is called The Batwa Experience. They show their old way of life, but you can also talk to them about their life. They have a small piece of land for the tours, but they can not live on it.
During my visit I met a big group, but the most special were four 90 year old Batwa. They have lived in the rainforest for centuries and have endured all the recent changes. They are now forced to live in houses, have no gardens to grow crops and have limited access to education and healthcare. With help of a local guide I could talk to them. This was one of the most inspiring talks I ever had.
The Batwa now use dance and music to express their feelings, but also to show their rich culture. Pygmy tribe's dance rituals are not just for entertainment but hold deep cultural significance in resolving disputes. They sing about their life, their struggles and their future.
My best tip is to support organisations working towards their empowerment. I encourage you to take the time to learn more about indigenous tribes like the Batwa. So if you visit the mountain gorillas, visit also the Batwa. It is definitely worth it. Share your thoughts or experiences in the comments below and let's continue the conversation about the importance of preserving cultural diversity.

An indigenous community called the 'Batwa' in the Democratic Republic of Congo claim they are being brutally forced out of their native land. The community live in the Kahuzi Biega National Park - a UNESCO world heritage site.
An investigation by the Minority Rights Group has found a deadly three-year campaign by park guards and soldiers to expel the Batwa people. The Batwa say they have been tortured, raped and murdered.
The Minority Rights Group report also found that park authorities continue to receive funding from foreign governments like the US and Germany, as well as conservation groups -- despite being made aware of the atrocities since 2019.
We put these allegations to the relevant authorities. The National Park Director, De-Dieu Bya'Ombe wrote to DW saying - 'there had never been any targeted violence in the park and that he had never ordered such attacks. He said he was a victim of a conspiracy to get rid of him as park director.'
Germany’s Ministry of Development is calling for an independent investigation and released this statement - 'We take these allegations very seriously. If they are correct, there will be consequences, including Germany's support of the national park.'

The Batwa people are one of the oldest surviving Indigenous tribes in Africa. They live high in the mountain forests, straddling several East African countries. The Batwa are now also called conservation refugees, as governments scramble to cope with the pressures of population growth and climate change. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from western Uganda.

Twa
The Twa (also Cwa) are any of several African hunting peoples or castes who live interdependently with agricultural Bantu populations, and who generally hold a socially subordinate position: They provide the farming population with game in exchange for agricultural products.
Name
Abatwa/Abathwa/Batwa is a derivative root word common to the Bantu language group. It is often supposed that the Pygmies were the aboriginal inhabitants of the forest before the advent of agriculture. Vansina argues that the original meaning of the (Proto-Bantu) word *Twa was "hunter-gatherer, bushpeople", and that this became conflated with another root for Twa/Pygmy, *Yaka (as in Ba-Yaka). As the Twa caste developed into full-time hunter-gatherers, the words were conflated, and the ritual role of the absorbed aboriginal peoples was transferred to the Twa.
The most common contemporary usage of the word is among the Zulu speaking population of South Africa where it takes on a meaning of dwarf or Bushmen in reference to the former hunter-gatherers of the region. There are still peoples of South Africa that identify as Abatwa in the Drakensberg Mountains region and around Chrissiesmeer (see ǁXegwi language).
