XVᵉ siècle – XIXᵉ siècle
Southeastern Rwanda
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
Gisaka was a powerful state in southeastern Rwanda ruled by the Gesera. It probably also controlled Bugyesera and remained independent until the nineteenth century, when it disintegrated and was annexed by Mwami Rwogera. Gesera authority continued in the smaller successor states of Busozo and Bushiru into the twentieth century.

Le récit
Gisaka occupied southeastern Rwanda and was ruled by the Gesera, a group closely related to the Zigaba. The excerpt presents Gisaka as a powerful and well-organized state, probably extending its authority into Bugyesera as well. For a long time it was comparable in organization to the young Rwandan state.
Unlike Mubari, Gisaka maintained its independence into the nineteenth century. It eventually disintegrated and was annexed by Mwami Rwogera, whose reign is dated approximately to 1830–1860. This annexation marked the incorporation of Gisaka into the expanding Rwandan political system.
Gesera rule nevertheless survived in two smaller states that had broken away from Gisaka. Busozo in southwestern Rwanda was apparently founded in the early seventeenth century, while Bushiru lay in the northwest. Both retained Gesera authority until the twentieth century.
