The general term Mbuti refers to the Pygmies of the Ituri forest in Democratic Republic of Congo, consisting of four subgroups; the Aka, Efe, Mbuti, and Sua. A specific use of the term Mbuti refers to the net-hunting pygmies who live in the south and central Ituri forest and are associated with the Bantu-speaking Babira. The Mbuti live in territorially defined nomadic foraging bands, which number from twenty to as many as a hundred individuals.
