Ruhengeri, today known as Musanze is the third largest city in Rwanda and the capital of Musanze District in the Northern Province of Rwanda. The city has a population of 153,368 as of the 2022 census.[1]
Name
Some sources now refer to the city itself as Musanze, after the district in which it lies within.[3] This has to do with the adopted policy of renaming Rwanda cities, which was done to eliminate memories of the past and to install new administrations in the country.[citation needed]
