Uganda buried Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV of Tooro at the Karambi Royal Tombs in Fort Portal on Saturday. [1] Channels TV filed the funeral amid a succession dispute: clan elders named a cousin, while the late king's family said a 2022 will named a young son. [1] Nile Post filed the 31-year reign ending at Karambi. [2]

A burial is not a coronation. A cousin named by elders is not a seated Omukama in this desk's copy. A claimed son is not a seated Omukama. Print the funeral. Print the dispute. Do not pick an heir.

Rukidi IV died in August at 34 after cancer treatment in the United States, in the week's prior file. Saturday's news is the grave, not the death notice again. President Museveni's call for unity is a call, not a court order. Print Karambi. Leave Sunday's succession recaps to Sunday.
