*’kampala’ / ‘uganda’*
.
-the kasubi tombs is the site of the burial grounds for 4 ‘kabakas’ (aka “kings of buganda”) and other members of the “baganda royal family”-
.
(as a result, the site remains an important spiritual/political site for the ‘ganda’ people, as well as an important example of ‘traditional architecture’)
.
(it became a “UNESCO World Heritage Site” in “december 2001”, when it was described as “one of the most remarkable buildings using purely ‘vegetal materials’ in the entire region of “sub-saharan africa”)
.
(some of the major buildings there were almost completely destroyed by a fire in ‘march 2010’, the cause of which is under investigation)
(as a result, in ‘july 2010’ it was included in the list of “world heritage sites in danger”)
(the “buganda kingdom” has vowed to rebuild the tombs of their kings and “president museveni” said the national government of ‘uganda’ would assist in the restoration of the site)
(reconstruction started in 2014, funded by the government of ‘japan’)
(the ‘kasubi tombs’ in (‘kampala’ / ‘uganda’), are the burial grounds for 4 previous ‘kabakas’ (aka “kings of buganda”), and a “UNESCO World Heritage Site”)

*’kasubi tombs’ almost completely destroyed by fire*

‘uganda’ vs. ‘buganda’
(sounds like a ninja turtles henchman duo!)
(riots broke out when the respective leaders of ‘uganda’ + ‘buganda’ visited the sites)
(2 rioters were shot dead by ‘police forces’)
(seems to be ‘par for the course’ on a typical “african afternoon”)
(*i for one) find it ironic that people will kill each other over conflicts arising from accommodations for the dead*)
(as an overly despondent ‘kurt vonnegut’ mutters to self: “and so it goes…”)
(in a dark room with only the radiant lovestruck gaze of (good ole) ‘charlie rose’…)
