Uganda

“Uganda is a fairy-tale. You climb up a railway instead of a beanstalk, and at the end there is a wonderful new world, "(Translation:" Uganda is a fairy tale. at the end a new world opens up ") wrote Sir. Winston Churchill in 1908 in his short story "My African Journey" after visiting the then British colony and which he used to call "the pearl of Africa".

Although Uganda has not suffered a colonial domination as pervasive as in other neighboring states, having never been allowed to purchase full ownership by non-African subjects, the awareness of being an independent nation was achieved in 1962 with the election of Benedicto Kiwanuka from the Democratic Party as Prime Minister.

In those years the country continued to grow as a state entity by adopting a Constitution and becoming a Unitary Republic. However, the struggles between different local tribes have resulted in military authoritarianism leading to years of violent internal unrest.

Starting from the second half of the 1980s, the resistance movement NRM "National Resistance Movement" established itself at the helm of the country through the National Resistance Council - NRC "National Resistance Council", which in fact fulfilled the role of Parliament (unicameral). With the aim of smoothing out the differences and resolving conflicts between local ethnic groups, political parties were progressively eliminated and a non-party democracy was introduced, with the consequence that today the state is characterized by a parliamentary form with an accentuated presidential character.

In the second half of the 2000s, the government signed a peace agreement with a group of rebels, the LRA - "Lord's Resistance Army". This circumstance led to a marked improvement in the socio-economic conditions of the state.

Indeed, the Republic of Uganda in recent years has proved to be one of the economies with one of the fastest growth rates on the entire African continent.
