Myth of Tutsi Invasion theory
2007-08-09 09:50:00 Genesis of Hutu-Tutsi conflictAn Article by Saumitra SenThe concept of Aryan Invasion theory being a handiwork of the German for the sake of proving the superiority of the European Caucasian races is not an isolated case. There exist a similar theory in other part of the world, involving other nations and other ethnicities and I wonder why hasn?t anyone yet given an attention over that.If we see the map of middle Africa, we see two little countries named Rwanda and Burundi, bordering Zaire (or Democratic Republic of Congo).
