Africa2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported45m ago
A Ugandan prince and television journalist has been crowned as the new monarch of the Tooro Kingdom. The succession follows the death of the kingdom's previous ruler, King Oyo Nyimba, last month. The passing of the former monarch triggered widespread grief and a succession dispute within the region.
Traditional monarchies in Uganda were originally banned in the 1960s before being legally restored decades later in 1993. The newly crowned king brings a professional background in media to the throne, having long worked as a broadcaster and editor prior to his ascension.
