Chaos at Kasubi Tombs

A loud explosion was heard behind the Kasubi Tombs last night, and the revered 128-year-old burial tombs was burnt to ashes, the Daily Monitor reported on March 17th.  Hundreds of people gathered in front of the tombs crying and screaming.

Nearby boda-bodas drivers spotted a white pick-up truck emerge from the scene.

When President Museveni arrived on the scene, protestors began booing him, and set up a barricade to stop him from entering.  The Ugandan police responded by shooting and killing two of the protestors.

The tombs are a Unesco heritage site.
