In the east of the African continent is the Uganda, known as the “Pearl of Africa.” This is a country without Agast, but it is full of tropical forests, lakes, environmental and vital diversity. In the same way, Uganda has an ancient historical heritage; It is considered one of the oldest human existence on Earth, but it encounters deep political and economic crises that impede its progress.

Before British colonialism, Uganda was a house for strong tribal kingdoms, such as Buganda, Punhuro and Anoli. These kingdoms played the main role in the formation of the country’s social and political structure.

After that, Uganda became a British reserve in 1894. In the fifties of the last century, Great Britain worked to prepare for local elections in the country for independence, and the political scene was divided into three main forces, namely: the People’s Party of Congress (to the left of the center), the Democratic Party (right) and uniols suitable for property. After the establishment of the agreed Constitution in October 1961, elections were held in which the “trade unionists” were held on this scene, and Milton Khovit – to the left of the center – the prime minister and “Kapaka” (King) Mottis II took over the country’s honorary president.

Uganda gained its independence on October 9, 1962. But the stage of post -dependence became a witness to violations and civil wars, especially during the general assistance, which in 1971 overthrew the Military Board regime, which led to internal unrest, worsening the economy and international isolation of the country.

The struggle for power was exacerbated in Uganda, where I was overthrown in 1979, and Gudfri Pinis was elected President of Uganda, in the middle of the same year, before the army tore it in May 1980, and put it back to the next elections. But the training was again overthrown in 1985, and Yuree Museveni took on power with an armed uprising that led him from the bush. Although Museven brought relatively stability and remarkable economic growth, the opposition was accused of undermining democracy and the tenacious of power.

Uganda economically depends on agriculture, and coffee is one of the most outstanding exports. According to the World Bank, the average GDP growth is from 5 to 6 percent per year, but this is not reflected in the standard of life; More than 20 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. On the other hand, the country counts on its oil reserves in the Albertin region, but production projects are faced with environmental and technical problems. In addition, in rural areas there is still not enough infrastructure, healthcare and good education, in the country there are more than 75 percent of the population under the age of thirty.
