The Kingdom of Toro Uganda

Toro, with its capital Fort Portal, lies in the southwestern part of present-day Uganda. The people of Toro, known as the Batooro or Batoro, comprise 3.2 percent of the 35.5 million people of Uganda (2012 estimate). The Kingdom is ruled by the Babiito dynasty, whose history dates as far back as the 14th century. According to oral
history, Prince Olimi Kaboyo Kasunsunkwanzi, son of the King of Bunyoro, annexed the southern part of his father's Kingdom in 1822 and founded what is known as Toro today.
