Aruwimi is the name of an important tributary of the Congo, entering the latter from the north in 1° 10' N. lat., 23° 30' E. long. It was explored for 100 miles by Stanley in 1883, and by it Stanley advanced to the relief of Emin Pasha in 1887. For a time it was maintained by some that the Aruwimi was the lower course of Schweinfurth's Welle, now known to enter the Congo by the Mobangi far to the west. See CONGO, AFRICA.
