Ganwa

Ganwa is the name for the princely group that traditionally ruled Burundi. Some say that they formed a distinct ethnic group.[1] Others say that they were generally part of the wider Tutsi ethnicity.[2] Whatever the case may be, they have themselves launched several appeals to be recognized as a distinct socio-cultural grouping.[3]
