Uganda is holding the funeral of Tooro King Oyo Nyimba, who took the throne at age 3 in 1995 and died of cancer at 34. A royal clan committee selected his cousin Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma as successor, but the king’s immediate family says his will named an unidentified son born out of wedlock, fueling a succession dispute.
