Uganda is a land locked Country located in East-Africa. Uganda is a lovely country and with lots of good people both natives and foreigners and these include; Indians, Americans, British, Chinese, Isrealities and more others of which some are here for Business and fun.
Uganda is a country which has a very strong back ground. In this i mean, the politics, social life and econimics.
English is the official language of Uganda. The local languages include; Luganda, Lusoga, Lunyankole, etc (they are over 65 languages). Why do you think so?. Well it is because Uganda has over 62 ethnical groups (tribes) of which some was a result of inter-marriages, and others as a result of migration from outer-lands.
The population of Uganda is over 25 million people. And the source of income or lively hood for uganda is through Agriculture with the top cash crop, COFFEE which is exported to countries like USA, UK, etc.
Uganda is divided into 5 major regions (just like American has states), we have Regions like; Central, Eastern, Northern, Southern and Western Regions with major cities like Kampala, Jinja, Gulu, Mbarara respectively.
Uganda also exports fish, and other minerals. Uganda was colonised by Britain in the early 1800's with first missionaries and explorers like, Mill fathers, Sir, Harry johnson, John speke, Sir. Samuel Baker, and others like Capt. F. Fredrick Lugard, these taught writing and reading skills, religion, introduced crops, civilisation, and introduced the first car and many things, modern housing styles, dressing etc, these people were from England.
By then Uganda was so divided into tribal regions and kingdoms, traditional ways and etc. There was no president by then, It is only when we got our indepandence on 9th Oct 1962 that the code leadership changed.
Uganda, we have forests, rivers, bridges and so many natural features. We have a good weather and the greenry is just excellent that is why Uganda is internationally known to be the Pearl of Africa.
There is too much to talk about here but let me just stop here.
