WHAT DOES ARUWIMI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Aruwimi River

The Aruwimi River is a tributary of the Congo River, located to the north and east of the Congo. The Aruwimi begins as the Ituri River, which arises near Lake Albert, in the savannas north of the Kibale River watershed. It then runs generally south southwest until it is joined by the Shari River which flows by Bunia. The Ituri then turns west, through the Ituri Forest, becoming the Aruwimi where the Nepoko River joins it, at the town of Bomili. The river continues westward, joining the Congo at Basoko. The length of the Aruwimi–Ituri is about 1,030 kilometres, with the Ituri being about 650 kilometres and the Aruwimi about 380 kilometres. The Aruwimi is about 1.5 kilometres wide where it joins the Congo. The watershed of the Ituri/Aruwimi is almost entirely dense forest, with just a handful of villages along its course, and crossed by roads in about four places. The Kango language is spoken by several thousand villagers just south of Avakubi, and upper reaches of the Ituri are inhabited by the Mbuti. The Aruwimi was explored by Henry Morton Stanley during his 1887 expedition to "rescue" Emin Pasha.
