What’s are their genetics like ?
I’ve heard some look Cushitic.

They are cushites sxb. So are all horner groups. We just have different admixture levels. Some have some southern Arabian blood and some have omotic blood

They are south cushitic people

They are South Cushites from Northern Tanzania who are remnants of Ancient Azania. They are largely of South Cushitic origin with some Bantu & Tanzanian (Hadza-like) hunter-gatherer admixture. Some Iraqw members also claim to be from Iraq: https://hvlopen.brage.unit.no/hvlop...1794/Rekdal1998WhenHypothesis3.pdf?sequence=1

Here are photos of some Iraqw South Cushites: https://www.somalispot.com/threads/south-cushitic.40000/post-1139744

Iraqw tribe still exist. They just absorbed some Bantus & hunter-gatherer tribes in Northern Tanzania. They are surrounded on all sides:

(light green area near Maasai/Kenya's border)

im guessing they're similar to tutsi maybe with more hunter gatherer ancestry

Correct. They are mainly South Cushitic & minorly Hadza (Tanzanian hunter-gatherer). They also have some outliers with Bantu (Niger-Congo agriculturalist), but surprisingly many of them are only South Cushitic & minorly Hadza.

The Datooga are almost the same as them. Ancestrally the Datooga are basically Iraqws who shifted to a Maasai-like language. You can barely tell the difference between them on an African PCA genetics chart.

PS. We use to have an Iraqw poster: https://www.somalispot.com/members/south-cushitic.5270/
Actually lived in Tanzania.

This area has the most ethnic and genetic diversity in Tanzania:

Most of the other ones are more or less the same, not that diverse, just the square box is ethnically unique.

Obviously, they're the original Iraqis. It is clearly in the name.
