On March 22, 2025, President Yoweri Museveni revisited Isunga Police Station in Kagadi District, a site of historical significance in Uganda’s liberation struggle.
In a social media post, Museveni recounted the events of February 6, 1981, when he and his comrades initiated an armed struggle against Milton Obote’s government, starting with just 27 guns.
Their first attack targeted Kabamba Barracks, where they seized military equipment before advancing through Kagadi to Isunga Police Station.
At Isunga, they overran the station and captured an RPG-7B gun, a valuable addition to their limited arsenal.
During his visit, President Museveni ordered the Special Forces Command (SFC) to rehabilitate Isunga Police Station, preserving it as a historical site from the liberation struggle.
This initiative aims to honor the legacy of those who fought for Uganda’s independence and educate future generations about the nation’s history.
By rehabilitating Isunga Police Station, the government seeks to provide a tangible link to the past, fostering national pride and unity among Ugandans.
This move aligns with broader efforts to document and commemorate the country’s rich history, ensuring that pivotal moments and locations are recognized and maintained for posterity.
