{UAH} UNLA, with the help of Tanzania, brought about the ousting of Idi Amin

In 1979, several years after completing my Bachelor of Laws at Makerere University and the requisite Bar course at the LDC, I became the Director of Legal Services for the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA). The UNLA, and its political sibling, the UNLF was formed in Moshi, Tanzania as a coalition of groups opposed to Amin's rule. The coalition included FRONASA, Save Uganda Movement, Kikosi Maalum and Uganda Freedom Union.

As Director of Legal Services my role was to advise on legal matters as well as carry out various security operations with fellow UNLA members. These operations involved the recruitment and military training of FRONASA combatants in friendly countries. I also established and ran various clandestine study groups.

UNLA, with the help of Tanzania, brought about the ousting of Idi Amin and governed Uganda from 1979 until the controversial general elections of 1980.
