If the person looks like they might be from Nigeria then they're Hutu and if they look like they might be from Ethiopia then they're Tutsi. There is a wikipedia article called "Origins of Hutu, Tutsi and Twa" that goes into detail especially on genetic evidence.

    Hey, this is a great video, but there is an issue with the ending. Burundi and president Nkurunzinza have currently very strained relations with Rwanda, accusing president Kagame of backing the 2015 mutinies, and having a hand in the assassinaton of several high-ranking Burundian officers. Furthermore, Bujumbura has accused Kigali of acting as a safe-haven for anti-Nkurunziza forces. So I'd say that at the moment, Rwanda is the current government's worst nightmare, absolutly not close friend.

    Burundi, officially the Republic of Burundi, is a landlocked country in the Great Rift Valley where the African Great Lakes region and East Africa converge. It is bordered by Rwanda to the north, Tanzania to the east and southeast, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west; Lake Tanganyika lies along its southwestern border. The capital cities are Gitega and Bujumbura.

    Well well!
    This is was a lot information about Burundi.
    And I must say that I'm impressed at how informed you were about Burundi especially on classes and tribes of the citizens rather than ethnic groups as most do think of it.
    We all know that what matters is peace and development for all 😊
    Anyways Burundi is actually a beautiful country with good food, weather and full of many people with potentials !
    ● We call our country the heart of Africa ❤ 🌍

    The "problem" with the river borders with Tanzania are because these semilunar lakes were part of the river. The water some times brakes through and the river is strait again. So these are old river borders. It's "something like" the Croatian and Serbian borders, not the same but close enough.

    Wait, a situation in which provinces/countries/states/whatevers are partitioned in such a way so as to have equal populations ACTUALLY HAPPENED?!! Alright, who else has seen the map of the US in which all 50 states have been redrawn so's to have the same number of people in each state and also the map of Europe in which all of the countries have been redrawn in the same fashion? Because otherwise this statement's gonna be bewildering otherwise.

    This 2:10 borders look like that because they were created alongside the "meanders" and later the river got straightened by erosion. :D You might see same thing in Croatian border with Serbia (it has made a border conflict between them)

    • @KarloBatur
      @KarloBatur 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Hoodiecrow I live in Croatia and I think we consider the border to change as the river changes, and Serbia thinks the border should stay the same as it was when negotiated. Or vice versa, I'm not sure. This has created a kind of no man's land thing (to Serbia it is no man's land, to us it is serbian territory)
      And that shithole liberland happened.

    • @rarelibra
      @rarelibra 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Hoodiecrow those are not "meanders", they are called "oxbows"
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxbow_lake
      and if you look up the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota, you will see border disputes based on historical annotation of where the river ran, with land lost due to oxbows. The "meandering" is the movement of the river itself.

    • @xTheFree
      @xTheFree 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      rarelibra I've never said they are meanders. I said that they were created by them by "straightening the river" (or by process of side erosion (which takes places in meanders) which cuts off parts of the river - saying correctly)

    The river borders Tanzania claims are not "creeks" but are oxbow lakes, a former area of a meandering stream that has been cut off as the river's direction changes. The Mississippi River has many oxbow lakes.Tanzania likely made the border claim in the past when the river ran along that path, which is now different today due to the stream's meandering.

    I really like your channel. I just want to clarify, that the reason the border between Burundi and Tanzania has those enclaves on either side f the existing river is because the course of the river has changed since the border was established in the 1920's. The border jumps to oxbow lakes that are left over depressions along the old river route. The same thing happened between the border between Illinois and Missouri along the Mississippi River. One good example of this is at 37°54'7.70"N; 89°55'12.38"W.

    2:06, that's just from changes in the flow of the river over time. You can see it follows Oxbow lakes (aka billabongs) that used to be where the river flowed, but the path of rivers change over time as land erodes away and the water finds a more favorable way to flow downhill.

    About border rivers: those creeks and lakes are former riverbeds (of the main/larger river). It is possible that border originally followed the river, but the river has since changed it's course. It would be easier to keep the old border, because of land ownership.
