Kampala, Uganda - UN cultural agency UNESCO announced Tuesday it was removing the fire-damaged tombs of royal leaders in Uganda
UN cultural agency UNESCO announced Tuesday it was removing the fire-damaged tombs of royal leaders in Uganda from its endangered heritage list, voicing satisfaction with restoration efforts.
But a 2010 fire devastated the site, and it was placed on the danger list while reconstruction began with the help of international funding. Ahead of the decision, UNESCO had said removing the tombs from the endangered list would be a powerful symbol given that 50 percent of sites considered in danger are in Africa.
Buganda, one of four ancient kingdoms in the East African country, was first established in the 14th century on the shores of Lake Victoria and includes Uganda’s modern-day capital.
