This highlights Princess @ElizabethBagaya 's reflections on her role as principal regent for King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who ascended Tooro's throne at age 3 in 1995 after his father's death and died on August 27, 2026, at age 34.
The accompanying image shows an elderly Princess Bagaya, a prominent Tooro royal born in 1936, in somber black attire; she is the late king's paternal aunt, a lawyer, former diplomat, and one of the key figures who guided the kingdom's affairs during Oyo's minority until 2010.
As a historic figure who served briefly as Uganda's Foreign Minister under Idi Amin and was the Batebe (Princess Royal), Bagaya's commentary underscores continuity and support within @Tooro's monarchy following the young king's passing.
The situation in Karamoja, especially in Kotido and Kaabong, is increasingly alarming. The disturbing images emerging from the region demand our collective compassion and urgent action.
I thank H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for his rapid intervention and deployment of food relief. However, I believe we must now scale up the national response and widen the clarion call.
Government, development partners, humanitarian organisations, the private sector, religious institutions and all Ugandans of goodwill must rally together. This is a moment for national solidarity. No Ugandan should face hunger in silence when, together, we have the capacity to respond.
Karamoja is Uganda. Its pain is our pain. Its people are our people. Let us act urgently, generously and together.

Section 11(2) of the Human Rights (Enforcement) Act is unconstitutional because it forces automatic nullification of a criminal trial and acquittal whenever an accusedβs nonβderogable rights are found breached, without holding a full trial on the original offences
