Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma has been crowned king of Uganda's Tooro kingdom.
Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma已被加冕为乌干达图罗王国的国王。
The new monarch has long been a familiar face in the East African nation, where for many he was known not as the heir to the throne, but as a storyteller: a long-serving anchor and editor at the state broadcaster.
这位新君主长期以来一直是东非国家的熟悉面孔，对许多人来说，他并不是王位的继承人，而是一个讲故事的人：国家广播公司长期服务的主播和编辑。
But the 56-year-old - now King Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma Nyabongo I - has become the subject of media attention himself as his rise to the Tooro throne sparked controversy and widespread reactions beyond the country.
但这位56岁的国王-现在的国王爱德华*鲁基迪*基贾南戈马*尼亚邦戈一世（Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma Nyabongo I）-已经成为媒体关注的主题，因为他登上托罗王位引发了争议和广泛
Tooro is one of Uganda's four main officially recognised historical kingdoms. For the last 31 years, it had been headed by King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who was once known as a "boy king", after ascending to the throne as an infant.
图罗是乌干达四个主要的官方承认的历史王国之一。 在过去的31年里，它一直由曾经被称为"男孩国王"的Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV国王领导，他在婴儿时期登上王位后。
Oyo became king in 1995 at the age of just three, following the death of his father. Then the world's youngest monarch, he ruled until he died last month from cancer, aged just 34.
在父亲去世后，Oyo在1995年仅三岁时成为国王。 当时是世界上最年轻的君主，他一直统治到上个月死于癌症，年仅34岁。
The coronation is a day for celebration, involving traditional practices that started at midnight.
加冕礼是一个庆祝的日子，涉及从午夜开始的传统习俗。
Kijanangoma has had to perform various ceremonies and walk about 4km (2.5 miles) to the official Karuziika royal palace where he has now been crowned.
Kijanangoma不得不进行各种仪式，并步行约4公里（2.5英里）到官方的Karuziika皇宫，他现在已经加冕。
The Tooro kingdom's Information Minister Charles Mwanguhya told the BBC Focus on Africa podcast that a mock fight would follow his crowning, to signify that kingship does not come easy.
托罗王国的信息部长查尔斯*姆万古亚（Charles Mwanguhya）告诉BBC聚焦非洲播客，一场模拟战斗将跟随他的加冕，以表示王权并不容易。
Kijanangoma would then be blessed by members of the royal Babiito clan, he said.
他说，Kijanangoma将受到皇家Babiito氏族成员的祝福。
But his selection was far from straightforward.
但他的选择远非直截了当。
According to tradition, a recognised son of the late king should have succeeded him. Close members of the royal family said Oyo had left a young son and a will with instructions that the child should be next on the throne.
按照传统，已故国王的一个公认的儿子应该接替他。 王室的亲密成员说，Oyo留下了一个年幼的儿子和遗嘱，并指示孩子应该是下一个王位。
But the son has never been revealed to the public and nor was he recognised by the committee of 21 Babiito clan members who choose the king and eventually selected Kijanangoma.
但儿子从未向公众透露，他也没有得到21名Babiito氏族成员的委员会的认可，他们选择了国王并最终选择了Kijanangoma。
The late King Oyo was never publicly married, and little is known about his wife or their son.
已故的奥约国王从未公开结婚，对他的妻子或他们的儿子知之甚少。
Nonetheless his mother, Queen Best Kemigisa, argued that the late king's will ought to have been respected.
尽管如此，他的母亲贝斯特*凯米吉萨女王认为已故国王的意志应该得到尊重。
However, the royal succession committee ignored her wishes, insisting their selection process was conducted in accordance with Tooro customs and traditions.
然而，皇家继承委员会无视她的意愿，坚持他们的选择过程是按照Tooro习俗和传统进行的。
The new king has thus found himself at the centre of a succession dispute, with Kemigisa and her close relatives unhappy with the outcome.
因此，新国王发现自己处于继承纠纷的中心，凯米吉萨和她的近亲对结果不满意。
The late King Oyo's mother has expressed her pain over the succession row Kemigisa referred to Kijanangoma's selection as the "announcement of a second king" being "made after the will of King Oyo was read to members of the royal family".
已故的奥约国王的母亲表达了她对继任者的痛苦 Kemigisa将Kijanangoma的选择称为"在向皇室成员宣读Oyo国王的遗嘱后"宣布第二任国王"。
"As a mother, that was extraordinarily painful," she said, describing celebrations for the next king taking place "only metres from where my son's body lay".
"作为一个母亲，这是非常痛苦的，"她说，并描述了下一位国王的庆祝活动"离我儿子的尸体只有几米远"。
The queen later said Oyo's son, who was in the US state of Texas, had been due to return home but that could not happen amid a "tense and polarised succession dispute".
女王后来说，奥约的儿子，谁是在美国德克萨斯州，本来是要回国，但这不可能发生在一个"紧张和两极分化的继承纠纷"。
"No child should be placed in circumstances where returning to his father's homeland could mean being drawn into hostility and conflict," Kemigisa asserted in a post on X.
Kemigisa在x上的一篇文章中断言："任何孩子都不应该被置于回到父亲家园可能意味着陷入敌意和冲突的情况下。"
But according to the Tooro kingdom's information minister, the son being talked about "hasn't been presented anywhere, which means there is a growing acceptance that sad as it may be, King Oyo didn't leave a son behind".
但根据Tooro王国的信息部长的说法，正在谈论的儿子"没有在任何地方出现，这意味着越来越多的人接受这种悲伤，尽管它可能是，Oyo国王没有留下一个儿子"。
While King Oyo inherited the crown from his father, Mwanguhya told the BBC "the crown has moved to a different line within the ruling clan".
虽然Oyo国王从他的父亲那里继承了王冠，但Mwanguhya告诉BBC"王冠已经转移到统治氏族内的另一条线"。
A king must come from the Babiito clan, specifically the lineage of King George David Matthew Kamurasi Rukidi III, according to royal palace sources.
国王必须来自Babiito氏族，特别是乔治*大卫*马修*卡穆拉西*鲁基迪三世国王的血统，根据皇宫的消息来源。
Kijanangoma and the late King Oyo are cousins.
Kijanangoma和已故的Oyo国王是表兄弟。
Both are grandsons of Rukidi III, the 11th king, or Omukama, who ruled the Tooro kingdom from 1928 to 1965. Kijanangoma was among several people who were considered for the role, including Prince George Desmond Kamurasi, who plays football for one of the UK's best-known amateur clubs.
两人都是11th国王Rukidi III或Omukama的孙子，他从1928到1965统治了Toro王国。 Kijanangoma是几个被考虑担任这个角色的人之一，包括乔治*德斯蒙德*卡穆拉西王子，他为英国最着名的业余俱乐部之一踢足球。
According to the succession committee, the South East Dons captain and goalkeeper declined the offer of the throne, citing other responsibilities.
根据继任委员会的说法，东南部的dons队长和守门员拒绝了王位的提议，理由是其他责任。
After he was formally announced, Kijanangoma promised that the palace would be open to the people, while vowing to focus on unity and development.
在他正式宣布之后，Kijanangoma承诺宫殿将向人民开放，同时发誓要专注于团结和发展。
"I ask you for one thing - they have given me this title as king but I cannot work alone, I have to work with you," he said.
"我问你一件事-他们给了我这个头衔作为国王，但我不能单独工作，我必须和你一起工作，"他说。

王国于1967年被废除，但约韦里*穆塞韦尼总统领导的政府在20世纪90年代初恢复了王国。
The government said this was to promote cultural pride and national unity, but the move has also been interpreted as a way of appeasing communities and fostering political loyalty.
