Kasubi Tombs: RIP


Kasubi Tombs:Earlier this week this historical landmark in Kampala, Uganda, which houses the burial remains of the last 4 Baganda Kings burnt down. Investigations are currently in the works. 3 people were shot and killed by the military as President Museveni forced his way in to assess the damage. President Museveni and the Buganda Kingdom have been at odds for years and just nearly 6 months ago riots spread throughout Kampala and nearby cities, with many people dying as the government blocked the Kabaka (King of Buganda) from traveling to parts of the kingdom.
