On January 26th 1986, Ugandans woke up to great news when it was announced on Radio Uganda that Kaguta Museveni who had led a protracted people’s war had captured Kampala and overthrown the then fascist regime of the UNLA.
According to the Minister, the liberation war which was fought between 1981 and 1986 should not be seen as an end in itself. Rather, it was a moment of glory in which the People of Uganda opened a new chapter to rescue themselves from dictatorship and misrule, she said.
She went on to say that, “In the 33 years, the NRM government introduced participatory democracy where power was given back to the people. We have also continued to witness regular, free and fair elections at National, Parliamentary and Local Council level”.
Uganda continues to enjoy unprecedented peace &stability within her borders under the NRMO regime. In line with the NRM ideology of Pan-Africanism we continued to provide a significant contribution towards sustainable peace unity & development.
Owing to the sustained peace within the boundaries of Uganda, the country has become a safe haven for refugees fleeing conflict around the region.
Consequently, Uganda is the largest refugee holding country in Africa and fifth in the world.
