The Hutus and Tutsis speak mainly Kinyarwanda but also speak French. They both come from from Rwanda and Brundhi and the Hutus are the overwhelming majority in both countries. The Hutus are mostly Christian and many of them are catholics but there are other religions from indigenous groups. The Tutsis also are mostly christian. Despite being so similar there has been harsh violence and many conflicts between the two ethnicities. ]]> 2017-12-12 01:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elliottmilla/hi0ylwpb26rn/wish/215264475 elliottmilla https://padlet.com/elliottmilla/hi0ylwpb26rn/wish/215657470 1.Women are mainly in politics and business. Rwanda actually has the highest percentage of women in legislature with 64% which is 45% higher than the U.S. and they placed 6th in the rankings of the best gender gap while the U.S. placed 28th. Sadly, in some parts of Rwanda it can be hard for women and feminism is seen as a bad word. ]]> 2017-12-13 02:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/elliottmilla/hi0ylwpb26rn/wish/215657470 elliottmilla https://padlet.com/elliottmilla/hi0ylwpb26rn/wish/216369408 1.

Another example of pop culture is cricket which is very popular in Rwanda especially in migrant camps, cricket has really helped Rwanda because it has given a common bond between communities and the enthusiasm toward the sport has been directed at different issues such as the spread of STDs, some coaches even use metaphors based on cricket to explain safe sex. ]]> 2017-12-15 02:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/elliottmilla/hi0ylwpb26rn/wish/216371463
