Terrain

DATE Africa Terrain Regions

Kujenga’s area is 390,810 square miles in the eastern part of central Africa. It shares 3,073 miles of border with several different countries, including Amari and Ziwa to the north, and four major bodies of water—the Indian Ocean, Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Niassa. The country’s varied terrain includes mountainous highlands, high plateaus, deep valleys, lowland plains, and sandy beaches.

Border Disputes

The Tanga region, a small triangle of land defined by the far southeastern Amari border, the Pangani River, and the Indian Ocean formally belongs to Kujenga. However, its populace identifies with Amari, and wishes to join that country. Though the land is not disputed per se, the situation occasionally leads to political tensions between these two neighbors. Armed outbreaks occur episodically, primarily between the local populace and Kujengan security forces, though Amarian security forces have also been involved.
