Ethnic group in Burundi

Ganwa is the name for the princely group that traditionally ruled Burundi. They formed a distinct social class that was neither Hutu nor Tutsi, although they were affiliated with the latter.[1][2] They have launched several appeals to be recognized as a distinct socio-cultural grouping.[3][4]
