Bildnummer 14077840
| Kabalega, King of Bunyoro, Uganda, and his chiefs. Chwa II Kabalega (June 18, 1853 - April 6, 1923), was the ruler or Omukama of Bunyoro in Uganda from 1870 to 1899. He resisted the British attempts to colonize his kingdom. In 1894, the British declared war on Bunyoro. At the height of the British offensive on his Kingdom, Kabalega went into hiding in Acholi under the protection of Chief Awich Abok of Payira. It's from there that he consistently led his rebellion dubbed Nyangire that proved a thorn on the colonial skin. For five years, Kabalega was able to fend off the British, who had enlisted help from other countries including Somalia and Nubia. On April 9, 1899, Kabalega was shot by the British, who captured him and Mwanga II of Buganda. Kabalega was exiled to the Seychelles for 24 years. His son Kitahimbwa was appointed king but had little power as the kingdom was administered nearly directly by the colonial authority. In 1923, Kabalega was given permission to return to Bunyoro but died in Jinja on April 6, 1923, shortly before reaching the borders of the kingdom. No artist credited, undated. | |
