The UNLF Factor
The Uganda National Liberation Front was a political group formed by exiled Ugandans opposed to the rule of Idi Amin. It worked alongside the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA) that acted as a sister wing in liberating Uganda from the alleged autocratic leadership of Idi Amin Dada. It fought alongside Tanzanian forces in the Uganda-Tanzania War that led to the overthrow of Idi Amin's regime.
Being a product of Ugandan exiles the UNLF undertook operation and East African recognition from 24 to 26 March 1979 in Moshi, northern Tanzania under the Moshi Conference. The Front was represented by 28 groups. They included the Uganda Freedom Union (UFU) that was led by Andrew Kayiira, Godfrey Binaisa and Olara Otunnu. The others included FRONASA led by Yoweri Museveni, Kikosi Maalum led by Milton Obote, and Save Uganda Movement led by Akena p'Ojok, William Omaria and Ateker Ejalu.

Famous quotes containing the word factor:
“In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded.... He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
