Omukama Edward Rukiidi Nyabongo I, a son to Prince Christopher Paul Kiijanangoma and a grandson of Omukama George David Kamurasi Rukiidi ascended to the throne on September 29th, 2026, after the death of his cousin King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV who succumbed to cancer at the age of 34 in the United states.
Uganda reiterated its support for Israel’s right to exist while also backing the Palestinian people’s right to have their own state. The government said many complications surrounding the conflict stem from different actors' failure to address the issue fairly.
The President said he later learnt from Queen Mother Best Kemigisa that Oyo had left behind a young boy who would eventually be presented to the public.
According to the police, preliminary investigations indicate that the teenager had been posting videos containing vulgar and offensive language, which investigators believe amounted to incitement to violence and the promotion of sectarianism. Police also described the content as inappropriate, particularly given the suspect’s age.
Uganda has a lot to learn from the elections and political landscape in South Africa. The NRM has been in power for a long time, but support and winning percentages have gradually dwindled.
