The death of Tooro's 34-year-old monarch has triggered a rare dispute over who will inherit the kingdom's throne, according to Al Jazeera.
The king of Uganda's Tooro kingdom has been buried following his death at age 34, an event that has opened a rare challenge to the traditional process for selecting the kingdom's next ruler, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
