This article is about the subnational kingdom in Uganda. For the article on the secessionist movement that existed from 1962 to 1982, see Rwenzururu movement.
Rwenzururu is a subnational kingdom in western Uganda, located in the Rwenzori Mountains on the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It includes the districts of Bundibugyo, Kasese and Ntoroko.[1] Rwenzururu is also the name given to the region the kingdom is located in.[2]
Rwenzururu's first Omusinga (king), Isaya Mukirania (Kibanzanga I), declared independence from the Tooro Kingdom on 30 June 1962. However, the Ugandan government did not officially recognise the kingdom's legitimacy until 17 March 2008.
