Ngabo Amon/ BBC Basillioh Rukanga Bella Twine BBC Focus on Africa 8分钟前 乌干达托罗王国（Tooro kingdom）即将加冕的爱德华·鲁基迪·基贾南戈马·尼亚邦戈二世（Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma Nyabongo II）王子，长期以来一直是该国的一张熟面孔。
Ngabo Amon/ BBC Basillioh Rukanga Bella Twine BBC Focus on Africa 8 minutes ago Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma Nyabongo II, who is set to be crowned king of Uganda's Tooro kingdom later, has long been a familiar face in the country.
对许多乌干达人来说，他并非以王位继承人的身份为人所知，而是作为国家广播公司的一名资深主播和编辑，以讲故事者的身份广为人知。
For many Ugandans, he was known not as the heir to the throne, but as a storyteller, as a long-serving anchor and editor at the state broadcaster.
但现年56岁的基贾南戈马如今已成为媒体关注的焦点——他登上托罗王位引发了争议，并在该国以外引起了广泛反响。
But Kijanangoma, 56, has now become the subject of media attention himself - his rise to the Tooro throne sparking controversy and widespread reactions beyond the country.
托罗是乌干达四个主要官方承认的历史王国之一。在过去的31年里，它一直由奥约·尼姆巴·卡班巴·伊古鲁·鲁基迪四世（King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV）国王领导，他曾因在婴儿时期即位而被誉为“男孩国王”。
Tooro is one of Uganda's four main officially recognised historical kingdoms. For the last 31 years, it has been headed by King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who was once known as a "boy king", after ascending to the throne as an infant.
奥约在父亲去世后，于1995年以仅三岁之龄成为国王。作为当时世界上最年轻的君主，他在位直至上个月因癌症去世，年仅34岁。
Oyo became king in 1995 at the age of just three, following the death of his father. Then the world's youngest monarch, he ruled until he died last month from cancer, aged just 34.
加冕典礼是一个值得庆祝的日子，包括从午夜开始的传统仪式。随后，新国王将步行约4公里（2.5英里）前往官方的卡鲁齐卡（Karuziika）皇宫接受加冕。
The coronation is a day for celebration, involving traditional practices starting from midnight. The new king then walks about 4km (2.5 miles) to the official Karuziika royal palace where he is crowned.
托罗王国新闻部长查尔斯·姆旺古亚（Charles Mwanguhya）在接受BBC《聚焦非洲》（Focus on Africa）播客采访时表示，加冕仪式后会进行一场模拟战斗，以象征王权来之不易，随后他将接受巴比托（Babiito）皇室成员的祝福。
A mock fight follows, to signify that kingship does not come easy, and he is then blessed by members of the royal Babiito clan, the Tooro kingdom's Information Minister Charles Mwanguhya told the BBC Focus on Africa podcast.
在坐上王位并戴上象征其新权威和托罗新国王地位的真正王冠之前，他还将进行其他象征其继位的仪式。然而，基贾南戈马被选为国王的过程远非一帆风顺。
He performs other ceremonies that signifies his assumption of the throne, before he sits on the throne and an actual crown placed on his head to signify his new authority, his new position as the new Tooro king. But the selection of Kijanangoma as king was far from straightforward.
根据传统，已故国王的认可之子应继承王位。皇室成员表示，奥约留下了一名幼子，并留下了遗嘱，指示该孩子应成为下一任国王。
According to tradition, a recognised son of the late king should succeed him. Close members of the royal family said Oyo had left a young son and a will with instructions that the child should be next on the throne.
但这个儿子从未向公众公开，也未得到由21名巴比托氏族成员组成的委员会的认可。该委员会负责推选国王，最终选出了基贾南戈马。
But the son has never been revealed to the public and nor was he recognised by the committee of 21 Babiito clan members who choose the king and eventually selected Kijanangoma. The late King Oyo was never publicly married, and little is known about his wife or their son.
已故奥约国王从未公开结婚，人们对他的妻子或两人的儿子所知甚少。
Nonetheless his mother, Queen Best Kemigisa, argued that the late king's will ought to have been respected.
尽管如此，他的母亲贝斯特·凯米吉萨女王认为，已故国王的遗嘱本应得到尊重。
However, the royal succession committee ignored her wishes, insisting their selection process was conducted in accordance with Tooro customs and traditions.
然而，王位继承委员会无视了她的愿望，坚称其推选程序是按照图罗王国的习俗和传统进行的。
The new king has thus found himself at the centre of a succession dispute, with Kemigisa and her close relatives unhappy with the outcome.
因此，新国王发现自己身陷王位继承争端之中，凯米吉萨及其近亲对这一结果深感不满。
Getty Images The late King Oyo's mother has expressed her pain over the succession row Kemigisa referred to Kijanangoma's selection as the "announcement of a second king" being "made after the will of King Oyo was read to members of the royal family".
盖蒂图片社：已故奥约国王的母亲就王位继承争端表达了痛心。凯米吉萨称，基贾南戈马获选无异于“宣布第二任国王”，而这一宣布是在“向王室成员宣读奥约国王的遗嘱之后”作出的。她说：“作为一名母亲，那份痛苦难以言表。”她基贾南戈马与已故的奥约国王是表亲。两人都是第11任国王鲁基迪三世（即奥穆卡马）的孙子；鲁基迪三世于1928年至1965年统治图罗王国。
"As a mother, that was extraordinarily painful," she said, describing celebrations for the next king taking place "only metres from where my son's body lay". The queen later said Oyo's son, who was in the US state of Texas, had been due to return home but that could not happen amid a "tense and polarised succession dispute". "No child should be placed in circumstances where returning to his father's homeland could mean being drawn into hostility and conflict," Kemigisa asserted in a post on But according to the Tooro kingdom's information minister, the son being talked about "hasn't been presented anywhere, which means there is a growing acceptance that sad as it may be, King Oyo didn't leave a son behind".
基贾南戈马是数名王位候选人之一，候选人还包括为英国知名业余俱乐部之一踢球的乔治·德斯蒙德·卡穆拉西亲王。王位继承委员会表示，东南唐斯队的队长兼守门员以肩负其他职责为由谢绝了王位。
While King Oyo inherited the crown from his father, Mwanguhya told the BBC "the crown has moved to a different line within the ruling clan".
正式宣布后，基贾南戈马承诺向民众开放王宫，同时表示将专注于团结与发展。
A king must come from the Babiito clan, specifically the lineage of King George David Matthew Kamurasi Rukidi III, according to royal palace sources.
“我只要求大家做一件事——他们授予我国王的称号，但我无法独自完成这些工作，我必须与你们共同努力。”他说。
Kijanangoma and the late King Oyo are cousins. Both are grandsons of Rukidi III, the 11th king, or Omukama, who ruled the Tooro kingdom from 1928 to 1965.
法新社供图（经由盖蒂图片社）：20世纪90年代恢复传统王国的穆塞韦尼总统（左），2010年与图罗国王奥约（右）合影。乌干达的传统国王虽然没有正式政治权力，但在文化上仍具有影响力，并在其领导的社区中赢得高度效忠。
Kijanangoma was among several people who were considered for the role, including Prince George Desmond Kamurasi, who plays football for one of the UK's best-known amateur clubs According to the succession committee, the South East Dons captain and goalkeeper declined the offer of the throne, citing other responsibilities.
乌干达境内有四个主要王国，其中最大、最具影响力的是位于中部地区的布干达王国，其疆域涵盖首都坎帕拉。
After he was formally announced, Kijanangoma promised that the palace would be open to the people, while vowing to focus on unity and development.
这些王国于1967年被废除，但穆塞韦尼总统领导的政府于20世纪90年代初恢复了它们。
"I ask you for one thing - they have given me this title as king but I cannot work alone, I have to work with you," he said.
政府表示，此举旨在促进文化认同感和国家团结，但也被解读为安抚不同族群、培育政治忠诚的一种方式。

王位继承争端期间，政府支持巴比托氏族推举基贾南戈马。司法部长萨姆·马扬贾表示，图罗王国已获准举行加冕礼，因为没有人对他提出正式申诉。加冕日期由政府宣布，穆塞韦尼预计将出席。
The country is home to four main kingdoms, the largest and most prominent being Buganda in the central region, which encompasses the capital Kampala. The kingdoms were abolished in 1967, but the government under President Yoweri Museveni restored them in the early 1990s. The government said this was to promote cultural pride and national unity, but the move has also been interpreted as a way of appeasing communities and fostering political loyalty.
总统之子、军方首脑穆霍齐·凯内鲁加巴也已公开支持基贾南戈马。他在基贾南戈马的社交账号上发帖称：“愿他长享王位。”而这个名字本身就暗示着他的王室血统。
Amid the succession dispute, the government backed the Babiito clan's choice of Kijanangoma. Attorney General Sam Mayanja said the Tooro kingdom was cleared to go ahead with the coronation, as there had not been a formal complaint against him.
他的父亲、首任基贾南戈马，出生于鲁基迪三世国王即位的那一年。国王赐予他“基贾南戈马”这个名字，意为“带着王鼓而来的人”。
The date of the coronation was announced by the government and Museveni is scheduled to attend.
两代人之前便已预示的那面王权之鼓，如今重新回到了它的持有者手中。
The president's son and the head of the military, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has also publicly supported Kijanangoma.
基贾南戈马出生于1970年，在距离坎帕拉约300公里（186英里）的波特尔堡基杜库鲁村家中长大。
"Long may he reign," he posted on Kijanangoma's very name points to his royal heritage. His father, the first Kijanangoma, was born in the year King Rukidi III became king.
他离开村庄继续求学，1999年毕业于乌干达著名的马凯雷雷大学，获得大众传播学学位。
The king gave him the name, which means the "one who comes with the royal drum". The drum of royalty, foretold two generations earlier, is now returning to its bearer.
他的广播记者职业生涯跨越二十多年，曾在邻国卢旺达以及国内的乌干达广播公司工作。
Kijanangoma was born in 1970 and raised at their family home at Kidukuru village in Fort Portal, about 300 km (186 miles) from Kampala.
基贾南戈马成年后的大部分时间都在从事新闻工作。这些年来，他经常与公众交流，与各国领导人接触，并以记者身份接触国家事务。如今重返他出生的社区并成为当地领袖，这些经历或许将对他大有裨益。
He left the village to pursue further studies and graduated with a mass communication degree from Uganda's prestigious Makerere University in 1999. He worked as a broadcaster in a career spanning more than two decades, including in neighbouring Rwanda and at home, with the Uganda Broadcasting Corporation. Kijanangoma has been a journalist for much of his adult life The years spent engaging with the public, the interactions with leaders and the exposure to national affairs in his work as a journalist may yet serve him well as he returns to the community he came from, this time as their leader.
被拥立为国王后，基贾南戈马表示，他将利用自己21年记者生涯中建立的人脉，“为我们的人民争取好处”。
After he was named king, Kijanangoma said he would use the connections he had built up over 21 years working as a journalist "to get good things for our people".
他的母亲阿西姆韦·尤斯塔·基贾南戈马相信，他已经为履行新职责做好了充分准备。她说，他的成长环境深受传统熏陶。
His mother, Assimwe Yusta Kijanangoma, is confident that he is well prepared for his new role. She says his upbringing was deeply rooted in tradition.
“我确实是按古老王国那一套传统，用藤条、训诫和责骂把他带大的。有时我会陪他一起笑，有时也会责骂他。”她告诉BBC。
"I really raised him with the teachings of the old kingdom of a cane and instructions and scolding. I laugh with him, and other times I scold him," she told the BBC.
她补充说：“埃迪很有礼貌，不打架，也不大声吼叫。即使受了委屈，他也只说几句，不会太放在心上。”她为儿子感到欣慰，但也承认自己百感交集，尤其是在儿子于一位“伟人”去世后继位之际。BBC关于乌干达的更多报道：非洲 约韦里·穆塞韦尼 王室 乌干达 BBC非洲播客
She added: "Eddy is well-mannered, he does not fight, or shout, even when wronged, he says a few words and does not go so much into it." She feels good for her son, although she admits to having mixed emotions, especially as her son is taking over after the death of a "great man".
