Kayanja, located in the northwest of Burundi.
The capital of the Burundi Kingdom is located in Kitaga, which is the geographical center of the Burundi Kingdom, situated in the heart of the Central Plateau (Burundi).
During peacetime, as the national center, Kitaga naturally strengthens the Burundi Kingdom's influence over the surrounding areas.
But when the Eastern Bantu Tribes surged like a tide from the south, the defenseless Kitaga became precarious.
If it were only a small-scale impact, the Burundi Kingdom could handle it, but the Eastern Bantu Tribes brought millions of indigenous people from the entire East African colonial territory to this narrow northwestern area.
Even if everyone stood still, it would take half a day to sweep them with machine guns, let alone the Burundi Kingdom that still relied on relatively primitive iron tools.
Thus, after the impact of the Eastern Bantu Tribes and unsuccessful resistance attempts, the Burundi Central Government fled northwest.
