What does NRA stand for?

With Amin ousted in 1979, thanks largely to the involvement of the Tanzanian army, Uganda experienced a further seven-year period of utter chaos, frequent changes of government, brutal abuses, and armed rebellions which were only halted when the current president, Yoweri Museveni, and his National Resistance Army took power on 29 January 1986.

Colonel Kainerugaba of Uganda analyzes military aspects of the campaign of the Ugandan National Resistance Army of Yuweri Museveni (current President of Uganda and also the author's father) against the Ugandan National Liberation Army forces of Milton Obete in the early 1980s.

For example, when the Uganda's National Resistance Army of Yoweri Museveni took power in January 1986, the liberation soldiers never looted any shops in Kampala; and the same goes with Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front of Meles Zenawi.

The move was highly symbolic, as Museveni has been a military man since the 1970s and led the National Resistance Army (NRA) to power in 1986.

Since 1986, the country has been governed by Yoweri Museveni, an ex National Resistance Army leader.
