There were No Merriments as Rwenzururu Kingdom Marks 11 Years.

Kasese district was enclosed in unusual silence on Monday, October 19, which was a day for celebration to mark the 11th coronation anniversary of the King of Rwenzururu, Omusinga Charles Wesley Mumbere.
The day also marked 54 years since the Omusinga Charles Wesley Mumbere succeeded his father the late Isaya Mukirania. It has been celebrated with pomp, ever since  Mumbere returned from the United States of America and since Obusinga Bwa Rwenzururu was recognized as an independent cultural institution in 2009.
The Kingdom has been in limbo over the last four years, since Mumbere was picked from his Buhikira Royal Palace in Kasese town on November 27, 2016, before it was burned by the Uganda People’s Defense Forces in an assault that left more than 100 people dead. Dozens of his royal guards remain in jail.
Joseph Kule Muranga, the newly appointed Prime Minister says the Kingdom anniversaries are ideally supposed to be led by the King but he is not yet allowed in the kingdom as pronounced by his bail conditions. Muranga said he could not acknowledge the significance of such events when the King himself is not around.
