Today weighed on all of us. Behind every editorial decision was one truth: a mother is mourning her son. A Queen Mother is grieving her King. No photo or video is worth adding to that pain. Again and again, we asked one question before any other: does this cause more harm? King Oyo lived in the global spotlight from the time he was three years old. In death, we stepped back. He belongs first to his mother, his family, and the Kingdom of Tooro. Today, we reported the truth. Carefully. With honor. Rest well, Omukama. Rest well, our King.
@UgandaMediaCent was at Entebbe International Airport as King Oyo of Tooro returned home. We are heartbroken. Yet we celebrate a short life that had far reaching impact. https://t.co/2g7yxu4V5G
“…Fortunately, in a telephone call, Her Royal Highness Kemigisa, told me that H.H. Oyo left a young boy heir that will be introduced to the public at the right time…” -Mzee YKTM. End of. Now, let’s continue mourning.
The Prime Minister of Toro Kingdom announces the death of King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV! 34 immeasurably impactful years! May His Majesty Rest in Eternal Peace.
We are locked into AFCON… We are speaking to some of the world’s leading sports storytellers to come and help tell our stories.. Our GLOBAL network means we are better placed than ANYONE else to convene the best of the best sports storytellers in the world. This is not a joke. Or a money grab. We want to make sure that Uganda puts its best foot forward… Hon @OgwangOgwang - thank you for championing the need to support @UgandaMediaCent’s quest to tell our story. We are driven by PATRIOTISM. Not profit.
