Burundi Nile

The Burundy topography is similar to that of Rwanda. The Burundy Nile supplies some of the water of the area.

The hills and valleys hold some swampy marshland and fresh water lakes.

The waters in the hills and valleys of Burundy drain ito the bigger Blue Nile tributary which surrounds Lake Victoria. Again like Rwanda the inhabitants of Burundy are made up of Twa, Hutu, and Tutsi tribes. The name Burundy was given to the small country of less than 30 thousand square miles with a population of nearly 9 million after it gained it's independence from European colonies who'd invaded Rwanda and Urundi.

Burundy is amongst the poorest countries in the world. While the land can be farmed year round, domestic problems along with over population can't raise them above this slavery to poverty.
