Ugandan anger at plan to name road after slain tourists

A decision by Uganda's government to name a road after two foreign tourists killed earlier this month has triggered outrage in the country.
 
British citizen David Barlow and his South African wife Emmaretia Geyer were shot dead on their honeymoon.
 
Police said the attackers also burned their car in the October 17 attack.
 
Some Ugandans have criticised the government for honouring the foreign couple yet excluding Eric Alyai, the Ugandan guide killed alongside them.
 
Authorities say the couple, from Berkshire in the UK, were on a visit to see gorillas and other primates at the Queen Elizabeth National Park when they were killed in an attack by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).
 
ADF is an Islamic State-linked rebel group with a presence in western Uganda, but which mostly operates in the eastern part of the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
