Yemen's Houthis Capture Mokha, Bolstering Gateway to Bab al-Mandab

The Tooro monarchy, long led by King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, is in turmoil after his death. Clan elders have selected Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma as king, a move rejected by his sister and the king’s mother who claim a will names a young son as heir. The dispute exposes the complex traditional succession rules, while the royal family faces restrictions from the army and seeks permission to mourn peacefully. Calls for respect of the will clash with the elders’ decision, leading to uncertainty over the enthronement of the new Omukama.

Critics argue it could undermine the federal budgeting process and question its legality under current electoral and federal spending regulations.  Todd Smith, a BBC North America editor, examines the potential legal hurdles and financial implications of this promise.
