As a district, we strongly condemn this practice,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kasyaba further criticized the NGOs for encouraging tourists to \u201ccome and see how the Batwa look like,\u201d which he described as a cruel exploitation of the minority group&#8217;s historical challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chairman urged NGOs to focus on promoting Batwa culture and supporting them in commercializing their art and craft products, rather than exploiting their vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CUE IN\u2026 KASYABA ON BATWA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/westernpearlreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/KASYABA-ON-BATWA.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview with this reporter, Amos Tugumisirize, the Executive Director of Kabale District Orphans and Vulnerable Children Living with HIV\/AIDS (KADOLHA), an NGO providing health and livelihood support to the Batwa, confirmed that some NGOs were indeed using the Batwa as tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He explained that these NGOs parade Batwa community members to dance for visitors, often providing them with minimal food and drinks in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CUE IN\u2026 TUGUMISIRIZE ON BATWA 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/westernpearlreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/TUGUMISIRIZE-N-BATWA-1.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Tugumisirize attributed this challenge to the persistent poverty that has plagued the Batwa community for years, forcing many into begging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey lack sufficient land, and even the little land they have is not fertile. As a result, they have resorted to begging and dancing for food,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He called for concerted efforts from all stakeholders to conduct sensitization campaigns among the Batwa and to support them in engaging in commercial agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CUE IN\u2026 TUGUMISIRIZE ON BATWA 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/westernpearlreports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/TUGUMISIRIZE-ON-BATWA-2.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About the Batwa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Batwa are traditionally nomadic hunter-gatherers who once roamed forest areas across what is now Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Over the centuries, they were pushed into smaller forest regions by other ethnic groups engaged in farming and land clearing. Despite this, the Batwa managed to preserve their traditional way of life in the forests until the early 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1991, the Government of Uganda gazetted Bwindi, Mgahinga, and Ecyua forests in Rubanda, Kisoro, and Kanungu districts as conservation areas, forcing the Batwa to live on the outskirts of national parks and forest reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While some received land from charitable organizations, they do not hold formal land titles and often work their neighbors\u2019 fields for a meager income, watching as tourists arrive with government permits worth $600 to visit mountain gorillas in the once familiar hills and valleys that once acted as their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Batwa community, estimated at 6,000 people with 470 in Kigezi alone, remains highly disadvantaged. Notably, when a Batwa individual graduated from university about three years ago, it made headlines, underlining their ongoing struggles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rubanda
