Location of Uganda

The Republic of Uganda is a nation in East Africa. English and Swahili are the official languages and Christianity is the predominant religion.

The region has been inhabited since prehistory. In 1894 the British Empire colonized the region and established the Protectorate of Uganda. In 1962 it achieved independence and there have been several violent conflicts for power in the country since.

The Bahá’í community of Uganda was established in 1951 and experienced sudden extreme growth in 1952. It continued to progress until the 1970's when turmoil in the country prevented the community from conducting activities and in 1977 it was banned along with many other religious groups. In 1979 the ban was lifted with the community having regained its capacity by the 1990's and it remains active to the present day.
