The
Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF) was a political group formed by exiled
Ugandans opposed to the rule of
Idi Amin with an accompanying military wing, the
Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA). UNLA fought alongside
Tanzanian forces in the
Uganda-Tanzania War that led to the overthrow of Idi Amin's regime. The group ruled Uganda from the overthrow of Amin in April 1979 until the disputed national elections in December 1980.
