Rubyiro River
The Rubyiro River is a river in southwestern Rwanda that is a left-hand tributary of the Ruzizi River. It joins the Ruzizi, which forms the boundary between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, about 2 kilometres above the point where the Ruhwa River, which forms the boundary between Rwanda and Burundi, enters the Ruzizi. {{#invoke:Footnotes|sfn}}
