Nemba is a settlement in Rwanda.[1]
Nemba is located in Bugesera District, in the Eastern Province of Rwanda, at the border with the Republic of Burundi. Its location is about 60km (40miles), by road, southeast of Kigali, Rwanda's capital and largest city.[2] The geographical coordinates of this settlement are: 02°21'09.0"S, 30°13'03.0"E (Latitude:-2.352500; Longitude:30.217500). Nemba is located at an average elevation of 1555m (5,102feet), above sea level.[3]
In 2012, the national population census enumerated the population of Rweru Sector (of which Nemba Cell is a component), at 28,782 people.[4]
The points of interest within the town limits or close to the edges of town include: (a) the offices of Nema Local Council (b) the international border crossing between Rwanda and Burundi (c) Nemba Airport, a small civilian airport, administered by the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority.[5]
The international border crossing is administered through two "One-Stop-Border-Post" (OSBP) facilities, (one in each country), whereby the customs, immigration and police clearances of both countries are obtained in one location when leaving one country and entering another.[6]
