Monument of National Unity

The Monument of National Unity is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Burundian. It is one attempt to bring Burundians together. Indeed, identity conflicts in Burundi have resulted in homicides between the two main socioeconomic components (Hutu and Tutsi). National reconciliation solutions have been presented.

This monument, built atop Mount Vugizo in the heights of Bujumbura, Burundi's city, is made up of modest walls connected by a rope with the words: Dusenyere Ku Mugozi Umwe, which means "let us assemble under a single string." The date of the national unity pact's signing is also etched there: 5/02/1992.

Alleys have been created to allow tourists to move freely. A military presence is also present to protect visitors who visit this location.

As soon as guests enter the monument, either a military or a civilian greets them with a smile and informs them of the requirements for visiting this area, and the genuine method of payment.

Visiting the Monument of National Unity allows you to observe the entire city of Bujumbura and northern Lake Tanganyika from above. I guarantee you that everything is OK.
