## Resource

Uganda’s Tooro kingdom mourns the death of its former king, Oyo Nyimba, who passed away at 34 after a cancer battle, despite his brief reign as the world’s youngest monarch. His funeral at Karambi Royal Tombs follows a bitter succession dispute: while royal elders chose news anchor Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, Oyo’s family insists his son is the true heir — a claim backed by Ugandan authorities. Amid calls for unity from church leaders and echoes of past royal conflicts, Kijanangoma, known for his quiet demeanor, now inherits both ceremonial duties and vast royal assets.
