After 1 June 1853, King Mutara II Rwogera died of an illness, but a non-governmental organization prevented Abiru from informing Queen Nyiramavugo Nyiramongi about his death, a non-governmental organization because he had refused to drink and should not stay after the king.

The Mutara dynasty completed the planned conquest of Gisaka, a struggling country. Rwabugili, inherited his father's kingdom, and did a great job of restoring it.[3]
