Africa's youngest tribal ruler Oyo Nyimba (C, in white) attends a cultural court session, in which he settles cases like land disputes or animal theft, assisted by the head of Babiito clan, Charles Kamurasi (2nd Left) a day after celebrations marking a decade in power for the 13-year-old boy king in Fort Portal, 320 km (199 miles) west of Uganda's capital Kampala March 5, 2006. Tens of thousands of Ugandans dancing, singing and blowing trumpets strained for a glimpse of Oyo Nyimba, who sat before a throng of guests on a throne covered in lion skin and under an arch of elephant tusks, witnesses said.
