乌干达传统王国托罗的国王奥约于周六举行葬礼1。现年34岁的奥约因癌症上月在美国去世1，他自3岁起统治托罗王国，曾是世界上最年轻的在位君主1。
国王的葬礼期间爆发继承权争议。王族长老选定56岁的电视节目主持人爱德华王子（已故国王的表哥）作为继任者，声称已按照托罗传统和文化进行继承程序1。然而，已故国王的家族拒绝接受这一决定，其妹妹露丝公主声称国王在2022年立下遗嘱，指定其年幼儿子为继承人1。乌干达总统穆塞韦尼呼吁各方解决此事，表示倾向于"团结而非分裂"1。
已故国王的母亲指控皇家卫队被撤离，士兵被部署进驻宫殿，限制了皇族的活动自由1。
King Oyo of the Toro Kingdom in western Uganda was laid to rest on Saturday following his death from cancer last month.1 The 34-year-old monarch, who had ruled the traditional kingdom since age three and held the Guinness World Record as the world's youngest reigning monarch, left behind a contested succession.1
The dispute emerged immediately after his funeral. Royal elders selected Prince Edward, a 56-year-old television presenter and the late king's cousin, as his successor, citing adherence to Toro tradition and custom.1 However, the deceased king's family rejected this decision, with his sister Princess Ruth asserting that King Oyo had drafted a will in 2022 naming his young son as the rightful heir.1 The late king's mother further claimed that royal guards had been withdrawn and soldiers deployed to the palace, restricting the royal family's freedom of movement.1
President Yoweri Museveni intervened by calling for unity in resolving the matter, stating his preference for cohesion "rather than division."1
