Buyungule Village, South-Kivu, Congo, Democratic Republic - January 03, 2016: A group of pygmy women is dancing in their village Buyungule, they are celebrating the arrival of some foreign visitors. Some of the women are carrying their children on the back while they are dancing. The dance takes place on the main place of the village. Buyungule is a village of the Batwa Pygmies, the native people of the Kahuzi Biega area.
Kahuzi-Biega Forest was the home of Batwa pygmies before it was gazeeted as a National Park in 1970. The life of the pygmy people was closely linked to the forest – there they found all what they needed for their life (food, medicine, shelter, etc.). After the loss of their original habitat a lot of Pygmy people feel that they have lost their dignity as human being.
