Uganda National Flag 5ft x 3ft

Product Information

Designed by the national Minister of Justice, Grace Ibingira, the flag of Uganda was officially adopted on October 9, 1962, when Uganda gained independence from the United Kingdom. Prior to this flag, a provisional flag was used unofficially from March 1962 until the adoption of the current flag. The provisional flag had vertical stripes of green on the outer edges, blue in the center, and narrow yellow stripes on either side of the blue, separating the blue and the green. On the center of the blue middle stripe was the silhouette of the crane in yellow. National symbol(s):

The collapse of the UPC-KY alliance openly revealed the dissatisfaction Obote and others had about Buganda's "special status". In 1964, the government responded to demands from some parts of the vast Buganda Kingdom that they were not the Kabaka's subjects. Prior to colonial rule, Buganda had been rivalled by the neighbouring Bunyoro kingdom. Buganda had conquered parts of Bunyoro and the British colonialists had formalised this in the Buganda Agreements. Known as the "lost counties", the people in these areas wished to revert to being part of Bunyoro. Obote decided to allow a referendum, which angered the Kabaka and most of the rest of Buganda. The residents of the counties voted to return to Bunyoro despite the Kabaka's attempts to influence the vote. [47] Having lost the referendum, KY opposed the bill to pass the counties to Bunyoro, thus ending the alliance with the UPC. The status of Protectorate had significantly different consequences for Uganda than had the region been made a colony like neighboring Kenya, insofar as Uganda retained a degree of self-government that would have otherwise been limited under a full colonial administration.

Much of the south of the country is heavily influenced by one of the world's biggest lakes, Lake Victoria, which contains many islands. The most important cities are located in the south, near this lake, including the capital Kampala [74] [75] [76] and the nearby city of Entebbe. [77] Lake Kyoga is in the centre of the country and is surrounded by extensive marshy areas.

Since its independence, Uganda has suffered significant instability. The country has endured a military coup, followed by a brutal dictatorship ending in 1979, disputed elections in 1980 and a five-year war that brought the current President Yoweri Museveni to power in 1986. The years since have seen relative stability. Giraffe: Uganda is home to the Nubian giraffe, or Rothschild giraffe, with one of the largest populations located in the Murchison Falls National Park.

On 20 February 2011, the Uganda Electoral Commission declared the incumbent president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni the winning candidate of the 2011 elections that were held on 18 February 2011. The opposition however, were not satisfied with the results, condemning them as full of sham and rigging. According to the official results, Museveni won with 68 percent of the votes. This easily topped his nearest challenger, Besigye, who had been Museveni's physician and told reporters that he and his supporters "downrightly snub" the outcome as well as the unremitting rule of Museveni or any person he may appoint. Besigye added that the rigged elections would definitely lead to an illegitimate leadership and that it is up to Ugandans to critically analyse this. The European Union's Election Observation Mission reported on improvements and flaws of the Ugandan electoral process: "The electoral campaign and polling day were conducted in a peaceful manner. However, the electoral process was marred by avoidable administrative and logistical failures that led to an unacceptable number of Ugandan citizens being disfranchised."

Engage parents and caregivers in children’s learning to ensure parents understand the benefits of education; support learning in the home; keep their children, especially girls, safe; and allow their children to return to, and stay in, school. From the moment the British created the Uganda protectorate, the issue of how to manage the largest monarchy within the framework of a unitary state had always been a problem. Colonial governors had failed to come up with a formula that worked. This was further complicated by Buganda's nonchalant attitude to its relationship with the central government. Buganda never sought independence but rather appeared to be comfortable with a loose arrangement that guaranteed them privileges above the other subjects within the protectorate or a special status when the British left. This was evidenced in part by hostilities between the British colonial authorities and Buganda prior to independence. [39] In the 1980s, the majority of energy in Uganda came from charcoal and wood.

Total Quantity or Scope Unfortunately, grey-crowned cranes are endangered animals. According to the IUCN, their population is down to 17,700-23,300 and decreasing. The threats to the cranes are loss of habitats, use of pesticides, live-trapping, egg harvesting, and hunting. Conservation groups are working together across Uganda and other countries to help support the remaining populations and reverse the declining numbers.
