(Redirected from Mwezi Gisabo)'Mwami Mwezi IV Gisabo Bikata-Bijoga' (
1840 –
1908) was the king of
Burundi from
1852 to
1908. He was the son of king
Ntare IV Rutaganzwa Rugamba.
During his reign, Burundi was colonized by
Germany. An agreement in
1890 allowed Mwezi to stay as king but recognize German authority. Mwezi also had to face rebellions from two chiefs named Maconco and Birori, who were recognized by the Germans in
1903. This recognition was withdrawn in
1905, however, and the rebellions were extinguished by
1906.
