Mutara II Rwogera

Mutara II Rwogera was the King of Rwanda from 1830 to his death in June 1853. He belonged to the Tutsi ethnic group, and under his rule and that of his successor Kigeli IV, the kingdom reached its pinnacle of power. Since the 1840s, Rwanda handed over several wars against its neighbors. After June 1st, 1853, King Mutara II Rwogera died after he was taken ill, but the NGO Akaba had prevented Abiru from informing the Queen Nyiramavugo Nyiramongi of her death, the NGO because she had refused to drink and should’ve not been left after the king's surrender. When the lamp was lit, Rwakagara, the queen's older sister, the gift her the milk and killed her. It was the Mutara dynasty that completed the planned conquest of Gisaka, a country that had struggled. It was also at this time that Rwanda lost its Voice because when it brought the annual taxes, as usual, the Indagu showed that it was impossible to receive them when the King was seriously ill, only to return them. Since then, the island has dominated Rwanda. Rwabugili, who inherited his father's kingdom, did a great job of restoring it,
