Today in History: Ugandan Government Takes Over Milton Obote Foundation, March 15, 1971

Today in history, March 15, 1971, marks a significant event in Uganda’s history – the government’s takeover of the Milton Obote Foundation (MOF) and its assets. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find more information about this specific event, but here’s a brief background on the MOF.

The Milton Obote Foundation was incorporated on May 8, 1964, as a company limited by guarantee. It’s been involved in various activities, including holding businesses like Uganda House for the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) party. However, over the years, the foundation has faced some challenges, including internal conflicts and disputes over funding.

The Milton Obote Foundation’s takeover by the government on March 15, 1971, marked a significant turning point in Uganda’s history. This event occurred when Milton Obote, the founder of the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC), was overthrown by Idi Amin.

The UPC, founded in 1960, played a dominant role in Ugandan politics until 1971. Obote, who led the country to independence, served two presidential terms under the UPC banner. However, his government was characterized by authoritarianism, and he was eventually overthrown by Idi Amin.

The takeover of the Milton Obote Foundation was likely a strategic move by the new government to consolidate power and eliminate any remaining influence of the UPC. This event, combined with Obote’s overthrow, marked the beginning of a tumultuous period in Ugandan history, marked by military rule, human rights abuses, and political instability
