Rumonge

Town in western Burundi, on the northeastern edge of Lake Tanganyika, 70 km/44 mi south of Bujumbura; population (1991) 14,500. Fishing is a locally important industry, with agricultural output from the town dominated by cotton and coffee in addition to subsistence crops such as maize and cassava. Much of the farming activity has been disrupted by civil war between Hutu and Tutsi groups during the mid-1990s.
