Umutara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Until January 2006, Umutara was one of the 12 provinces (intara) of Rwanda. However, due to local government reorganization, this area is now part of the new larger East Province.
The old province was situated in the north-east of the country, bordering Uganda to the east and Tanzania to the north. Within Rwanda it borders Kibungo to the south and Byumba to the west. The province was made up of districts and 81 Sectors, with its capital at Nyagatare.
Umutara had an area of 4,250 square kilometers, most of which is grasslands. The population in 2005 was 421,600.
