乌干达托罗王国国王奥约·恩英巴·卡班巴·伊古鲁·鲁基迪四世（King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV）于周六下葬。几天前，关于其继承人的人选曾引发一场争端。\n\n现年34岁的奥约于上月在美国接受癌症治疗期间去世。他自三岁起便开始统治乌干达西部的传统王国托罗，曾是世界上最年轻在位君主。\n\n托罗是乌干达的传统王国之一。这些王国于1967年被废除，但在20世纪90年代穆塞韦尼（President Museveni）总统执政期间得以恢复。其君主被视为文化领袖而非政治统治者。\n\n国王的灵柩被运往福特波塔尔（Fort Portal）的皇家陵墓时，数千名哀悼者排在街道两侧，随后在那里举行了一场私人葬礼。\n\n奥约被册封为托罗国王时还只是个幼儿。据吉尼斯世界纪录记载，他在位期间是世界上最年轻的君主。\n\n据报道，被部族长老指定为下一任君主的56岁电视新闻主播普林斯·爱德华·鲁基迪·基贾纳戈马（Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma）将九颗咖啡豆投入奥约的墓中，这一仪式象征着一个统治的结束与另一个统治的开始。

Uganda's King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, once the world's youngest reigning monarch, was buried on Saturday, days after a row broke out over who would succeed him.

Oyo, 34, who had ruled the traditional kingdom of Tooro in western Uganda since the age of three, died last month while undergoing cancer treatment in the US.

Tooro is one of Uganda's traditional kingdoms. They were abolished in 1967 but restored in the 1990s under President Museveni. Their monarchs are recognised as cultural leaders rather than political rulers.

Thousands of mourners lined the streets as the king's casket was transported to the royal tombs in Fort Portal where a private ceremony took place.

Oyo was just a toddler when he was named as Tooro's king and, according to Guinness World Records, was the world's youngest monarch while he reigned.

TV news presenter Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, 56, who was named as the next monarch by clan elders, reportedly cast nine coffee beans into Oyo's grave, a ritual signifying the end of one reign and the start of another.
