His Highness the Aga Khan (2nd left) arrives at Bushenyi-Ishaka municipal grounds in Bushenyi District for the Uganda's Independence Day celebrations. When he takes to the podium to be honoured today, it won’t be by accident or even a miracle; it will be tribute to decades of work and contribution His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV has done in Uganda that have outlived many post-independent governments.
The Aga Khan, who is the Imam (spiritual leader) of the Ismaili Muslims, arrived in the country on Sunday ahead of today’s 55th Independence anniversary and held a brief meeting with President Museveni and other senior government officials at State House Entebbe. PHOTO BY ALFRED TUMUSHABE
