In a country of more than 450 ethnic groups, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been built on diversity. Yet in the eastern part of the country, where armed conflict has persisted for nearly three decades, some communities continue to live under the weight of suspicion and stereotypes.
This is particularly true of Congolese Tutsis, especially the Banyamulenge of South Kivu and Kinyarwanda-speaking communities in North Kivu.
