THE UNBLOCK-ABLE BOND

This small Article that follows here is not ofcourse an attempt to offer a complete review of what is known and thought about Bakiga , Bafumbira and Rwandans.

There has never existed a tribe called Bakiga or Bafumbira in the Kigezi region.

They were only people called Banyakigezi and Banyarwanda no matter how common they may. It was a mere substitution of one population or culture for another.

During the colonial and the post colonial regimes there used to be the movement of Rwandans in the small groups of people in search of new home lands in Kigezi , Bufumbira and other Ankole regions.

Finding it (new home lands), the Rwandans conquered or otherwise settled down with its indigenous people called Bagezi ( clever hardworking men) of Kigezi forming Banyakigezi.

The clever hard working men( Bagezi) of Kigezi were too indigenous Rwandans that had governing powers and organisation than the new migrants Rwandans.

They had been there and had conserved their own traditions at the expense of all the traditions of the people among est whom they had settled with especially the people from the DRC and other communities around Kigezi region.

But this does not mean that one culture was automatically displaced by another.

For example the migrating groups would be without women or with few women.

Arriving in their new homes, they would take wives from their new indigenous fellow country men so that within a generation or two there would occur a pro founded intermingling of the two cultures, the new Rwandan immigrants and the indigenous Banyakigezi( Bagezi), the clever hard working men.

For example people A in other words, moved from Rwanda and settled with people B, the Banyakigezi in Kigezi region whether by conquest or agreement.

But out of this combination, as people A and people B intermarried and inter grew, there would soon emerge anew people called the people C.

There thus occurred a frequent process of diversification, and this goes far to explain the great variety of cultural forms and systems which came into existence a long side each other yet they are all migrants of Rwandans.

They are Rwandans but not the Bakiga or Bafumbira in kigezi or Bufumbira regions.

We know little of this process largely because it began to occur so very long a go.

The Rwandans( new migrants) and the the Bagezi old Rwandans migrants separated from their parents tongue some seventeen years or eighteen centuries ago, yet it would seem that the languages spoken by the Rwandans - Bagezi ( Banyakigezi) and their neighborhood the Bafumbira, Banyamulenge and other people in the DRC, the Banyankole, Bahima, Batooro, Banyoro, Bakonjo and etc may have divided from their parent's tongues almost twice as many years before the present since it was the mothers who would decide what the child would spoke not the father and with the loss of its language much of the culture of Rwandans disappeared into other languages and other cultures.

This explains why the majority Bafumbira, Bakiga and other people from other parts of Uganda are supporting H.E Paul Kagame and his leadership a against the extremist, barbaric and primitive people like Kayumbanyamwasa together with his Interahamwe militias of FDLR that are being used by enemies of Rwanda to destabilize their peace and development.
