== Geography == Mwiri covers an area of 514.8 km2 and lies at an altitude of about 1,570 m. The sector is divided into four cells: Kageyo, Migera, Nyamugari and Nyawera. It borders Murundi to the north, Ndego to the southeast, Kabare to the south, Rwinkwavu and Nyamirama to the south-east, Mukarange to the west and Gahini to the northwest. In the east, the sector borders the Kagera Nile, which roughly forms the border with Tanzania. The eastern half of Mwiri is part of the Akagera National Park. Ihema Lake is located in this area. Other smaller lakes in the sector include, from north to south, Murambya, Murambi, Birengero and Shakani Lakes.
