Queen Nyiratunga ruled with the help of her brother Rugagi.Together they fended off wars against Kins such as Gatarabuhura who wanted to kill the boy king Gahindiro.
Gahindiro is the one who broke the popular proverb: "Ak'i Muhana kaza imvura ihise."
Gahindiro's mother Queen Nyiratunga was adowger to Gihana son of King Cyirima II Rujugira.
Gahindiro deployed a large number of troops, but it began mainly during the reign of Cyilima II, when they set up camps due to the fact that at that time Burundi was waging a major war against Rwanda seeking to overthrow the Bucura of Rwaka who had taken refuge there and Rugira.
