Uganda is a landlocked country located in East Africa. It is bordered by South Sudan to the north, Kenya to the east, Tanzania to the south, Rwanda to the southwest, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. The capital city of Uganda is Kampala.
Uganda has a diverse landscape that includes mountains, forests, lakes, and savannas. It is home to a wide array of wildlife, including gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants, and hippos. The country is also known for its rich cultural heritage, with over 50 indigenous languages spoken and a vibrant music and dance scene.
Despite its natural beauty and cultural richness, Uganda faces numerous challenges, including poverty, political instability, and public health issues such as HIV/AIDS and malaria. However, the country has made progress in recent years in areas such as economic development and access to education.
Uganda gained independence from British colonial rule in 1962 and has since experienced periods of both stability and conflict. The country is currently governed as a presidential republic, with the President serving as both the head of state and government.
