Gunfire rang out in the Ugandan capital Kampala today and at least two people were killed as security forces clashed with rioters for a second day.
At least three people died in clashes yesterday, although some reports put the death toll as high as seven.
One of the dead men was in his 20s and was shot in the chest. The other was a teenage boy who had been shot in the head and was wrapped in a shawl, surrounded by sobbing relatives.
Plumes of black smoke from burning tyres rose over the city today.
This week's violence has been triggered by a disagreement between police and a senior official from Buganda, one of the east African country's four ancient kingdoms.
Analysts say the Buganda prime minister, or Katikiro, was barred from visiting Kayunga, a town east of the capital where locals say members of other ethnic groups have taken prime farm land that the kingdom believes is on its historical territory.
The Bugandan king, or Kabaka, who holds a largely cultural and ceremonial role, is expected to travel to Kayunga tomorrow, making it likely that there will be more violence.
