Omukama of Bunyoro

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Omukama of Bunyoro is the name given to rulers of the central African kingdom of Bunyoro-Kitara. The kingdom lasted as an independent state from the 16th to the 19th century. Although no longer the ruler of a state, the Omukama of Bunyoro remains an important figure in Ugandan politics, especially among the Banyoro people of whom he is the titular head.
