About the time in Butare
Butare sits at latitude -2.20, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 03m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Butare follows the civil time used across its region of Rwanda; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:04 and sunset at 06:07 local time, giving 12h 03m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-2.20, 29.24) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Butare.
