LRA Insurgency in Uganda 1995-Present

In 1995... a new Sudan-based guerrilla group, called the Lord's Resistance Army, began raiding villages in the Acholi district (north). Uganda's relations grew more strained with neighboring Sudan; both countries had aided various rebels' attacks on each other's government in the past. In 1997, Museveni received US arms and military training for his actions with Sudan and the Congo (Zaire). Bold raids by the Lord's Resistance Army prompted the government to confine all the Acholi people in protected villages in 1998.

Armed Conflict Events Database

Armed Conflict Events Data (ACED) is an research project providing independent information about known wars, international disputes, civil wars, rebellions, coups, revolutions, genocides and other violent conflicts. ACED has been online since December 2000. Various partial revisions and modifications have been implemented since then, however, the limitations of the this format hamper further development. During 2005, the decision was made to radically restructure the available conflict information into a database. The new Armed Conflict Events Database (ACEDb) will substantially increase the utility of available conflict data for students of military history. As well, it will offer expanded opportunities to add and edit records of conflict. Existing research material will be maintained in its present form but no revisions are planned. More news about the development of ACEDb may be found at News About the Armed Conflict Events Database. Feedback is welcome.
