National Heroes Day of Uganda takes place on June 9 every year to commemorate the brave people who laid down their lives during the Ugandan Bush War that took place between 1981 and 1986. It is estimated that around 100,000 to 500,000 people, which includes both combatants and civilians, died across Uganda as a result of the Ugandan Bush War. The war destroyed several villages and devastated people’s lives so badly that the current government is still working to rebuild the toppled infrastructures and the economy. Take this day to pay your respects to the ones who gave up their lives for the war.
