Bafumbira" is an ethnic group or tribe found in southwestern Uganda, primarily in the Kisoro District, which is located near the border with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Bafumbira are a Bantu-speaking community and are closely related to the Banyarwanda ethnic group in Rwanda. They share similar language, culture, and history with the Rwandan ethnic groups, particularly the Bakiga and Banyarwanda.
The Bafumbira are predominantly agriculturalists, engaged in subsistence farming, livestock rearing, and trade. They are known for their terraced farming practices on the steep slopes of the volcanic mountains in the region, which allows them to cultivate crops such as potatoes, beans, and maize.
The Bafumbira have their own distinct culture and traditions, including traditional dances, music, and ceremonies. They also have a system of governance led by local chiefs and elders, and their social structure is based on clan or family affiliations.
It's important to note that ethnic groups and tribes can have complex histories and identities, and their characteristics may evolve over time. 102.85.236.35 (talk) 07:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
