神秘儿子与继承权之争：乌干达国王在王位争议中下葬\n\n乌干达Fort Portal报道——随着Tooro国王Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV于9月12日下葬，这场葬礼在一场关于谁应该继位的激烈争议阴影下举行。\n\n56岁的乌干达广播公司新闻主播兼编辑Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma已被王室宗族选为Oyo的继承人。在Fort Portal的Karambi皇家陵墓举行的葬礼上，他通过向国王墓穴中投掷九颗咖啡豆（传统权力交接仪式的一部分）正式接权。\n\n但王位继承权仍存在争议。\n\nOyo的母亲王太后Best Kemigisa和他的妹妹Princess Ruth Komuntale反对Kijanangoma的入选，称已故国王的遗嘱指定了一名儿子为继承人。\n\nOyo生前从未结婚，且公开资料显示他没有孩子。在他死后，Tooro首相Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki宣布国王留有一个儿子，其身份将在适当的时候公布。该儿童的身份尚未公开。\n\nOyo的家人表示，2022年的一份遗嘱指定了一名被他描述为依法认可的亲生儿子为王位继承人。但负责守护Tooro王室血统、决定继承权和维护王国传统的Babiito宗族长老表示，Oyo并未通过习俗程序介绍这名孩子，因此转而支持Kijanangoma作为他的继承人。\n\n“遗嘱并不能决定谁应该是国王；它只是一份表达个人意愿的文件，”Babiito宗族长老Rev. Fr. Charles Oyo说。“Musuuga（Babiito宗族领袖）的权力高于遗嘱。”

Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, a 56-year-old news anchor and editor at Uganda Broadcasting Corporation, had been selected by the royal clan to succeed Oyo. During the burial at the Karambi Royal Tombs in Fort Portal, he formally assumed power by casting nine coffee berries into the king’s grave, part of the traditional handover ritual.

But the succession remains contested.

Oyo’s mother, Queen Mother Best Kemigisa, and his sister, Princess Ruth Komuntale, have opposed Kijanangoma’s selection, saying the late king’s will named a son as his heir.

Oyo never married and was not publicly known to have children. After his death, Tooro’s Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki announced that the king had left a son whose identity would be revealed at an appropriate time. The child has not been publicly identified.

Oyo’s family says a 2022 will named a son whom he described as his lawfully recognised biological son as heir to the throne. But Babiito clan elders, who are responsible for guarding the Tooro royal lineage, determining succession and safeguarding the kingdom’s traditions, say Oyo had not introduced the child through the customary process and instead backed Kijanangoma as his successor.

“The will is not a determinant of who is supposed to be a king; it is a document that expresses one’s wish,” said Reverend Father Charles Oyo, a Babiito clan elder. “The Musuuga [Babiito clan leader] is above the will.”
