The National Resistance Movement (NRM) Liberation Day is a significant celebration in Uganda, commemorating the day when the National Resistance Army (NRA), led by Yoweri Museveni, captured Kampala, the capital of Uganda, on January 26, 1986. This event marked the end of years of conflict and brought about the establishment of the current government.
Yoweri Museveni, who is the current President of Uganda, led the NRM in a rebellion against the government of Milton Obote and later against the regime of Tito Okello. The capture of Kampala by the NRA on January 26, 1986, is often referred to as the culmination of the "Liberation War," and it led to the installation of Museveni as the President of Uganda.
NRM Liberation Day is celebrated annually on January 26th in Uganda. The day is marked by various events, including parades, ceremonies, and speeches, to commemorate the achievements of the NRM and the establishment of a new government in Uganda. It is considered a public holiday, and the celebrations often include reflections on the country's progress since the end of the conflict.
