I extend my sincere condolences to the people of Uganda's Tooro Kingdom on the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV. Five years ago, I had the honor of meeting King Oyo and presenting him with a key to the City of Dallas as a symbol of our friendship. King Oyo impressed me as a dignified and respected leader, and he will be missed. My prayers are with his family, the Tooro people, and the nation of Uganda during this time of mourning.
The fact that she reported about the Late King Oyo with so much respect and better than many self appointed Ugandan journalists and media outlets.
She needs to be given her flowers.
Rest in Peace King Oyo
As a Mutoro from the Toro Kingdom, who grew up knowing how humble King Oyo is, it breaks my heart to share my thoughts with the BBC’s Focus On Africa on his sudden demise.
It’s been a tough day! May his soul rest in peace.
It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, at approximately 10:00 p.m. this evening.
This is an immeasurable loss to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the nation of Uganda.
Omukama Atulize.
Enkuba Etutire.
I call upon the people of Tooro to remain united, calm and prayerful during this difficult time.
The continuity of the Crown is assured. His Majesty leaves behind a Prince as his heir, whose identity will be formally revealed at the appropriate time, in accordance with the traditions and customs of Tooro Kingdom.
An official statement will follow with further details, including the funeral and mourning arrangements.
May His Majesty the King rest in eternal peace.

NEW: Shocking footage from Maharashtra, India, shows a family tragedy unfolding after an argument over a cellphone.
The dispute reportedly began when 18-year-old Kunal Chandgude demanded a new cellphone. Concerned for their son, his parents, Murlidhar and Sangeeta, followed him to a hilltop and tried to persuade him to return home.
Videos captured Kunal standing at the edge of a cliff and threatening to take his own life. His parents reportedly pleaded with him for hours to step away from the edge.
When his father grabbed his hand in an attempt to pull him to safety, the two lost their footing and fell from the cliff to their deaths. Moments later, the devastated mother also jumped from the cliff and died.
