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.
At Pope Leo XIV’s Concert for Peace tonight at Castel Gandolfo, a children’s choir sang Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” in three languages — Italian, Arabic, and English.
The singers came from Uganda, the Holy Land, and Italy.
Pope Leo XIV to a choir of young people from Uganda, the Holy Land and Italy:
“Continue to cultivate the gifts that God has given you, and allow them to lead you towards him. He is everything we are looking for in life, the one who alone can quell our restless hearts. Remember that you have been made for great things, and that this world is not enough to quench your thirst for meaning and happiness.”
King Charles III and Dr. Donald Rukare, President of Commonwealth Sport and of the Uganda Olympic Committee, in Glasgow.

Phillip Tebajjwa has shared an update to his earlier post about meeting Princess Catherine and James Middleton on the summit of Mount Snowdon 🏔️🏴
Phillip apologises to both Catherine and James, for sharing what was a moment that should have been theirs to take ownership of and decide for themselves how they wanted to share it.
Phillip says a number of media outlets have contacted him, seeking permission to share the content.
Phillip respectfully declines to give permission, but instead makes the content available to the Princess of Wales and her media team to use.
🥺🥰 and then Phillip speaks directly to Catherine, and says that he appreciates the selfie.
Bless him, such a kind heart 😭🫂
