Two new kingdoms have been proclaimed in opposition to the Rwenzururu Kingdom in Kasese District, Uganda. These are the Busongora Kingdom and Banyabindi Kingdom.
The Busongora Kingdom is located in the Southern Kasese District of Uganda.
The capital is at Muhokya.
The new King of Busongora is
Rutakirwa Agutama, Omukama, Ivan Bwebale Rwigi IV (born in 1940) and crowned
on 01 July 2012.
Busongora was an independent kingdom existing from around 1300
until it was incorporated into the Tooro Kingdom sometime after 1922.

The state flag of the Busongora Kingdom is rectangular horizontal tricolour of blue over red over cream
with a white disc with a green "drum" in the centre.
I am not certain that it is a drum, as the furled version of the
flag only shows the top of the white disc.

For those interested in the Busongora or Basongora here's a
couple of links:

The emblem on the bigger flag seems to be of a lighter colour.

The coat of arms features a golden drum, with a white centre
in front of two crossed spears (natural). The Supporters are (left) a white lion
and (right) an "Ankole Steer",
also in white. On a green mound is the motto: "MUKAMA NULISA WANKYE" on a
blue ribbon in black capital letters. The crest features a flag, similar to
the State Flag, (blue, red & cream) with a black "drum"? (without the white
disc)
adorns the centre.
Overall are the black capital letters in a semi arch:
"BUSONGORA HERITAGE KINGDOM".
