Kabalega Independence Run 2024 Kit Unveiled with Run to Focus on Environmental Conservation
Kabalega Foundation, in collaboration with the Bunyoro-Kitara Kingdom, and Hoima City Council, unveiled the Kabalega Independence Run 2024 Kit and held a Media Briefing yesterday at Hoima Resort Hotel. This year’s event builds on the inaugural run held in 2023, which celebrated 100 years of Omukama Cwa II Kabalega’s legacy since his passing. The theme for this year’s run, set for October 5, 2024, at Hoima Booma Grounds, is “Run to celebrate a hero's legacy. Run for a green future.”
Today in History – 22 September 2024.
147 years ago, on this day, Omukama Kabalega met Dr. Emin Pasha, a governor of the Equatorial province. They met on 22nd September 1877 at Omukama Kabalega's Palace in Mparo. Dr Pasha had come to Bunyoro to convince Omukama Kabalega to allow Bunyoro to be part of the Egyptian Province of Equatoria. Dr. Pasha spent 33 days in Hoima. He talked to Omukama Kabalega through an Arabic interpreter. But Omukama Kabalega was fluent in many languages including Arabic. Omukama Kabalega rejected Dr. Pasha's request. A cone shaped monument was built at the exact spot where the two leaders met. The monument is one of the facilities that are part of the Mparo Royal tombs which are located about 4km away from Hoima town on the Hoima-Masindi highway. The tombs are the resting place where Omukama (King) Kabalega and his son Sir Tito Winyi Gafabusa were laid. The Royal burial grounds are among the historical and heritage sites of Bunyoro. The site has been renovated but the Kingdom plan to further upgrade it. A master plan for the redevelopment is being developed. Mehmed Emin Pasha (March 28, 1840 – October 23, 1892) was an Ottoman physician of German-Jewish origin and governor of the Egyptian province
