Shinyanga in Tanzania TANZANIE tanzania. shinyanga Informations and links Shinyanga Map Shinyanga Photos Shinyanga Population on 01-Aug-02 : 73768 ------------------------------- Bukombe District lies in the western apex of Shinyanga region, Tanzania, between longitudes 31-32? east and latitudes 3-3.30? south. The district covers an area of 10,482 km2 (4,047 mi2); of this, 6,133 km2 (2,368 mi2) is estimated to be public land while 4,349 km2 (1,679 mi2) is forest reserves. Administratively the district is divided into the Masumbwe, Siloka and Mbogwe divisions; the population is about 396,423 people, predominantly from the closely related Sukuma and Sumbwa ethnic groups. The district is forested with Miombo woodlands, dominated by economically important leguminous tree and shrub species including Acacia, Brachystegia, Albizia, Commiphora and Dalbergia. Topographically, the district is characterized by flat, gently undulating plains interspersed with ridges and hill blocks. The general altitude varies from 1000 m (3,280 ft) to 1500 m (4,921 ft). Soils are mainly clayish but vary tremendously from hilltop to valley bottoms (Kileo et al. 1995). The climate is sub-humid, with annual rainfall in the district varying from about 600 mm (23.6 in) to 1200 mm (47.2 in), with a mean of 900 mm (35.4 in). The rainy season begins in November and ends in April-May, with a short dry spell between January and February. Annual temperatures vary from 15? C (59? F) minimum to 30? C (86? F) maximum (HASHI 2000). Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities..
