KIRUNDO May 25th (ABP) – More than 60 hectares of rice cultivation were flooded in Ntega commune of Kirundo province (northern Burundi), following the overflows of the Kanyaru river, which meant that around 3,000 households made up of more than 12,000 people have been affected, administrative sources announce.
The governor’s chief of staff Eric Nduwayezu, who visited the place to inquire about the situation, indicated that the Kinyovu and Rutagara villages are the most affected.
