In February 2007, the United States, through the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration at the U.S. Department of State will begin resettling about 600 Banyamulenge Tutsi from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. To help U.S. resettlement agency staff better understand and thus better assist the refugee newcomers, this backgrounder provides basic information about the Banyamulenge Tutsi in general and the Gatumba massacre survivors in particular. 2007.
