COMPENDIUM OF CONFLICTS IN <strong>UGANDA</strong> 9. Uganda-Congo Conflict (1965 – present) Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have been engaged in conflict since the 1960s largely due to various incidents in which political and military leaders have been accused of border trespassing and the plundering of natural resources. In 1965, then army Commander Idi Amin was implicated in looting ivory and gold from the DRC during the first Obote administration. 100 Subsequent accusations of illegal border incursions have heightened distrust between the two nations. Accusations of resource plundering emerged strongly in the second half of the 1990s, during the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) operations against rebel groups based in the DRC. 101 Indeed, a UN Panel of Experts established to look into the illegal exploitation of natural resources and other forms of wealth of the DRC found that Ugandan Government structures and top army commanders were involved in mass scale looting and illegal systematic and systemic resource exploitation. 102 More recently, the discovery of oil and plans for its exploitation around Lake Albert in Buliisa and Hoima Districts have led to further disputes. 103 People from these border areas demand that the Government not only focus on oil exploration, but also address conflict with neighbouring DRC; some Congolese have abducted Ugandans fishing on Lake Albert and around the oil rich areas, claiming they are trespassing, and this in turn has led to several Ugandan threats and counterattacks. The governments of both the DRC and Uganda have been fighting armed rebellions for years, and have accused each other of supporting some of those rebel groups. 104 Additionally, the porous Uganda-DRC border is a security threat that can precipitate violence, as rebels can decide to hide across the border and launch attacks from there. The shift of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) into northeastern DRC in 2008 is one such example, and Congolese attacks against Ugandans at the border have 100 Uzoigwe, G.N.

NATIONAL CONFLICTS also strained relationships between Ugandan nationals and Congolese refugees and asylum seekers in mid-western Uganda. 10. Kabaka Crisis and its aftermath (1966) Independence from the British Colonial Government did not imply the end of the power struggles between political and traditional leaders. The conflict over power centred around Obote, Uganda’s first Prime Minister, and the Kabaka, Uganda’s first President, representing the central government and Buganda Kingdom (which had been accorded federal status in the Independence Constitution) respectively. The conflict continued after the 1964 referendum that saw the ‘Lost Counties’ (Bugangaizi and Buyaga) returned from the jurisdiction of the Kabaka to the Bunyoro Kingdom. The Kabaka, as the ceremonial Head of State, was by law required to endorse the results of the referendum, but refused to do so. As a result, Obote used his executive powers to approve the results 73
