1)The term #Rwandaphone doesn't exist unless in #Congo there is a place called #Rwanda. Kinya-Rwanda is not a primary language spoken by a tribe called Banyarwanda,but kinyarwanda language was named after a place. Rwanda borrowed that language from an unknown bantu language!
2)In Tanzania,the province of Kigoma,that place is known as #Buha,they speak #Kiha.In Burundi they speak Kirundi,all these languages are mutually intelligible.Kigoma is larger than Rwanda with a 2 million population. It is said among #waha the Tutsi are 2%!Are they Rwandaphones?
3)In Uganda,the district of Kisoro,a place is known as #Bufumbira, they speak kifumbira but the language is mutually intelligible with Kinyarwanda,Kirundi,Kiha & Kihangaza(🇹🇿 )!They don't speak Kinyarwanda because they are not from Rwanda!These languages differ only by accent!

Thousands around the world are taking part in a #TwitterStorm (12-1 pm EST) to protest the assault on the members of the #Baha'i religious minority in the village of #Ivel in northern Iran. Their houses and lands are being confiscated.

Say no to this! #ItsTheirland
The Iranian #Baha'is of #Ivel have the support of many in the international community, not least their Muslim brothers and sisters.

Canadian Council of Imams (@CCImams ) has came to their support: opa.bahai.ca/files/uploads/…

#ItIsTheirLand
American Islamic Congress knows what discrimination looks like. Which is why it has come to support the Iranian #Baha'is of #Ivel and say no to the confiscation of their lands and property. They know that #ItsTheirLand

#Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated in 2015 that "black people are oppressed, disrespected & humiliated" in the U.S. Hey all you flag-waving #American
#patriots, are you gonna let him get away with that!? Why not support #reparations to prove him wrong? timesofisrael.com/iranian-leader…
And, yes, Khamenei is a hypocrite & has no moral authority to condemn the violent suppression of "minorities" when #Baha'is & other religious minorities in #Iran are systematically killed, jailed, excluded from society, denied passports, etc. But he ain't wrong about Black people
As #Twitterstorians and #BlkTwitterstorians know, it was this kind of geopolitical propaganda from the #USSR that shamed U.S. Cold War liberals into supporting the end of Jim Crow (long before U.S. popular opinion turned on this issue). #Reparations may come the same way. #AHA20
