Weekly Country Profile : Uganda
For those of you who dont know my husband was born in Kenya and bought up in Uganda. So I recently visited both places and by the Grace of Allah had the time of my life. Both Kenya and Uganda are such beautiful countries which have so much to offer. The people are very friendly and welcoming with their common phrase everywhere you go 'eeh your welcome' which is always accompanied by a sweet smile its enough to brighten up anyones day! Remember the prophet (pbuh) said smiling is a charity so thats gotta be a good thing.
This week ill try posting facts and pictures within Uganda and perhpas next week will move onto Kenya. Feel free to add any African experiences you guys may have had.
One thing for sure is next time im in that part of the world I hope to climb the famous Mount Kilimanjaro! It looks absolutely breath taking and is a sign of the greatness of The Creator!
Country profile: Uganda
Since the late 1980s Uganda has rebounded from the abyss of civil war and economic catastrophe to become relatively peaceful, stable and prosperous.
But the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the north remain blighted by one of Africa's most brutal rebellions.
In the 1970s and 1980s Uganda was notorious for its human rights abuses, first during the military dictatorship of Idi Amin from 1971-79 and then after the return to power of Milton Obote, who had been ousted by Amin.
During this time up to half a million people were killed in state-sponsored violence.
