The Twa are identified as one of the three principal population groups living in Rwanda before the genocide. They comprised approximately one percent of the population. The excerpt provides no further description of their livelihood, political organization, or regional distribution, but places them within the shared Kinyarwanda-speaking society of Rwanda.

Le récit
The Twa are named as the third of the three main groups living in Rwanda before the genocide. They represented only about one percent of the population, making them much smaller numerically than the Hutu and Tutsi. The excerpt does not provide a detailed account of their social organization, economic activities, or political history.
Although the groups were described as distinct, the Twa shared Kinyarwanda with the Hutu and Tutsi. The common language formed part of a broader Rwandan cultural setting, even as the population was organized through recognized group identities. The passage presents this combination of shared culture and differentiation as central to Rwanda’s social geography.
The Twa are located in Rwanda within the excerpt’s account. Unlike the Hutu and Tutsi, whose communities are explicitly said to extend into neighboring countries, the passage does not specify a wider geographical distribution for the Twa. Any broader regional mapping would therefore require additional evidence.
