Uganda's King Oyo Rukidi IV, world's youngest monarch, dies at 34
–
Neutral summary
King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, the traditional ruler of the Tooro kingdom in western Uganda, has died at the age of 34. The kingdom's prime minister, Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki, announced his death, calling it “an immeasurable loss to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the nation of Uganda.” The monarch, who ascended the throne in 1995 at just three years old and became the world's youngest reigning monarch, was hospitalized in the United States in critical condition and was being treated for cancer, according to sources close to the family. He is survived by an heir, whose identity will be revealed later in line with tradition.
