Rumonge is the capital city of Rumonge Province, Burundi, and a port on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. It is a significant transit point on the lake for trade into Burundi and other parts of East Africa.
Many of the city's residents were displaced by flooding in 2024, and 2025 attacks by the militant March 23 Movement in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo disrupted trade to Rumonge.
