National Resistance Army
|
The National Resistance Army (NRA) began as a guerilla army of Uganda in the 1980s, led by Yoweri Museveni. In 1986 the NRA took power, after five years of a bloody insurgency against the regimes of Milton Obote and Tito Okello. After the presidential elections of 1996, which were seen as legitimating the rule of Museveni, the NRA was renamed the Uganda People's Defense Force.
