The Bahutu Manifesto (French: Manifeste des Bahutu, full title Note sur l'aspect social du problème racial indigène au Rwanda or "Note on the social aspect of the indigenous racial problem in Rwanda") was a political manifesto produced by nine Rwandan ethnic Hutu intellectuals on 24 March 1957. The document was around 10 pages, addressed to the vice-governor general of Rwanda, and denouncing the "exploitation" of the Hutus by the ethnic Tutsi.
