Buhumuza

Located in eastern Burundi, Buhumuza borders the Burundian provinces of Burunga, Gitega and Butanyerera to the southwest, west and northwest respectively, Rwanda's Eastern Province to the north, and Tanzania's Kagera Region and Kigoma Region to the northeast and southeast respectively. Buhumuza's topography is characterized by a series of alternating lowlands and highlands: from north to south, these are the Bugesera Depression, Bweru plateau, the Ruvubu River valley, the Buyogoma plateau, and the Moso lowlands. Ruvubu National Park, Burundi's largest national park, protects the Ruvubu river valley which crosses the province from southwest to northeast. Gisagara Protected Landscape is located in the eastern part of the province near the Tanzanian border. ==History==

On 16 March 2023, President of Burundi Évariste Ndayishimiye signed into law a reorganization of Burundi's administrative divisions, which included the reduction of Burundi's provinces from eighteen to five. Buhumuza was created from the former provinces of Cankuzo, Muyinga and Ruyigi. Buhumuza is an old place name in eastern Burundi. During the colonial era it was the name of a chiefdom in the territory of Ruyigi. ==Communes==

Buhumuza is divided into seven communes: Butaganzwa, Butihinda, Cankuzo, Gisagara, Gisuru, Muyinga, and Ruyigi. ==Infrastructure==
