Kasubi Tomb burnt...

I was home early yesterday night and saw a news about the kasubi tomb was burnt down on Tuesday night. Not only that, the burning of Kasubi Tomb has triggered the riot. So where is Kasubi Tomb?

The Kasubi tomb is located @ Kampala City, Uganda, Africa. It has been a landmark for Uganda since it became the Unesco Heritage Site. This has been a representative of the buganda kingdom long long time ago. read more >> Its uniqueness of the architecture, culture and historical have made it so attractive to the tourist. Moreover it has claimed to be the largest straw hut in the world.

I got the opportunities to visit this heritage site when i was in Africa back in year 2008. Visit my earlier blog entry about this place. Now it's has been burnt down... I felt so sad as all the nice and unique interior and exterior have gone with the fire. It was a total lost for the buganda.

Hopefully they would be able to find out what actually cause the fire...
