At least 14 people have been killed in two days of rioting in the Ugandan capital of Kampala.

The violence flared after a row between the government and leaders of the ancient kingdom of Buganda.

Despite claims the security forces have things under control, there are still reports of violence and beatings.

Al Jazeera's Omar Al Saleh reports from the capital.
