When did Islam come to Uganda?

A:

Evidence of Islam in Uganda dates back at least to 1844 and possibly to 1830. The arrival of Christian missionaries after 1875 hindered the success of the Muslim missionaries.

In 1884, Mwanga became king of Buganda, the dominant tribe in what is now Uganda and, although instructed in Christianity as a child, favoured the Muslims because they were more tolerant of his homosexuality than were the Christian missionaries. Mwanga's younger brother and successor refused to be circumcised, as required by the Muslims, and he was replaced by yet another brother.

A revolt by the Christian population saw Mwanga restored to the throne and he, of course, gave his allegiance to the Christian missionaries in spite of their opposition to sodomy. Muslims now represent around 12 per cent of the Ugandan population.

What is the national dish of Uganda?

The food is very yummy. I spent some time living in a village outside of the capitol, Kampala, so I primarily ate local food. We would have:

rice with red kidney beans or yellow lentils (on a special night),

cabbage pan fried with a little bit of tomatoes,

Irish potatoes which are really just pan fried potatoes,

greens which are just large leafy weeds that grow in the back yard and are cut and pan fried,

chapati which is like fried flat bread with onions,

on a special day we would have Matoke which is unripe small bananas with the skin cut off and cooked for a very long time in banana leaves, then mashed up

along with the Matoke we would have G-Nut sauce, which is peanut sauce, but it would be purple because they left the red skins on. They call is G-Nut because they grow in the ground, hence G-Nut, ground nut

Very rarely would they eat meat, but when we did they would cut up the chicken or pork, and cooked on an open fire

for sweets we would have mendes, which tastes like funnel cake but instead the dough is cut up into squares and deep fried so it puffs up like a little pillow.

All in all the food was great, however it is not a very balanced diet because they cook everything in OIL!!! and lots of it.

There are lots of sugar cane (which they munch on all day long), mangoes which they eat unripe with salt, and avocados galore!

he killed people lots of people answer, He ran Uganda as a dictatorship, using fear as his tools of the trade, similar to Saddam Hussein. he also rigged any elections to make sure he won them, often murdering his opponents. He was also regarded as a cannibal. _______ He controlled the Ugandan army where he had risen to the highest rank possible for a Ugandan (when Uganda was a British Colony). He had been in the army for many years and had the trust and respect of his peers and suboridinates. He was also a political opportunist and he allied himself, if not Uganda, variously to other very diverse countries, such as Israel, Britain and Libya, in order to get arms and funding to pursue his agendas. To the outside world, he appeared to be an avuncular buffoon which is perhaps why he got away with it for so long without intervention.
