On November 27, 2016 Omusinga (king) Charles Wesley Mumbere, the cultural leader of Rwenzururu Kingdom, and hundreds of his subjects were arrested after a Uganda military assault on his palace that left over 100 people dead.
Hours before the deadly attack, the kingdom leadership had been given a one hour ultimatum to surrender the royal guards that were suspected of causing insecurity in the region. The king was adamant.
