Luweero District

Luweero District was the site of a fierce insurgency by the rebel group National Resistance Army and a brutal counter-insurgency by the government of Milton Obote that left many thousands of civilians dead during the early to mid-1980s.

The area affected by the war has come to be known as the Luweero Triangle.
