Fresh dispute over Rwandan king succession

The family of the late King Kigeli V Ndahindurwa has dismissed the move to name an heir to the throne made by his former confidante living in the United States.

Within hours of the arrival of the body of the deceased king in Rwanda, Boniface Benzinge, the former monarch’s aide, announced that he would be succeeded by Emmanuel Bushayija, 56, the king’s nephew.
