Communes Of Burundi
The provinces of Burundi are subdivided into 119 communes. The communes are further subdivided into collines. Burundi’s provinces and communes were created on Christmas Day in 1959 by a Belgian colonial decree. They replaced the pre-existing system of chieftains. In July 2022, the government of Burundi announced a complete overhaul of the country’s territorial subdivisions. The proposed change would reduce the amounts of provinces from 18 to 5, and reduce the amount of communes from 119 to 42. The change needs the approval of the National Assembly and the Senate to take effect. The communes are listed below, by province: Bubanza # Commune of Bubanza # Commune of Gihanga # Commune of Musigati # Commune of Mpanda # Commune of Rugazi Bujumbura Mairie # Commune of Muha # Commune of Mukaza # Commune of Ntahangwa Bujumbura Rural # Commune of Isale # Commune of Kabezi # Commune of Kanyosha # Commune of Mubimbi # Commune of Mugongomanga # Commune of Mukike ...

Many flags fall into groups of similar designs called flag families. The study of flags is known as "vexillology" from the Latin , meaning "flag" or "banner". National flags are patriotic symbols with widely varied interpretations that often include strong military associations because of their original and ongoing use for that purpose. Flags are also used in messaging, advertising, or for decorative purposes. Some military units are called "flags" after their use of flags. A ''flag'' (Arabic: ) is equivalent to a brigade in ...
