food shortages
In Uganda there have been many food shortages caused by a few things Milton obota persecuted Indian traders to make a railway from Uganda to Kampala so there was no food being transported to the people at low prices so prices on food went through the roof. People were not able to afford the food being sold witch over all made the people very unhealthy also the ever growing populations is causing the food shortages because the vendors can not keep up with the demand. The lasting effects are many deaths and pain for people unable to feed them self.

Civil wars
Northern Uganda had suffered from civil wars since the 1980s. Hundreds of people were killed in the rebellion against the Ugandan government, and an estimated 400-thousand people were left homeless. violence increased in Kampala with the 1998 and 1999 bombings of many restaurants nightclubs, and other public places. Eight tourists, including 2 Americans, were murdered by an Interehamwe guerilla group in Bwindi National Forest in March 1999. Rebels were active in the northern and western sections of Uganda. Some of this has been caused by idi amin from his public executions and mean things he had said about many ethnic groups.

Genocide
Since 1962, Ugandans have suffered violations of there rights, including genocide, violence supported by the government acts of elimination , forced exiles and expulsions, imprisonment without trial, and denial of the other basic human rights. More than 2 million people have been killed, maimed, imprisoned, or forced into exile. Various political elites have sought power to control and to distribute resources at the expense of human rights. Ugandans have not yet developed mechanisms to change government leaders by peaceful means. Political change has been effected through violence, and this has invariably led to other forms of violence. The distribution of resources along ethnic and racial lines was a legacy of British colonialism. During the colonial period, the Europeans and Asians received the highest incomes because they controlled the state and business, respectively. Among the African population, the Baganda were the richest because they produced cash crops—cotton and coffee—and played the role of colonial subimperialists. Western Uganda became a reservoir of labor for the colonial state as well as the managers of the cash crop economy in Buganda. The armed forces of the colonial era were recruited mainly from the Luo and Sudanic speakers of the northern region. This specialization along racial and ethnic lines became the source of instability and violence in postcolonial Uganda. Unsophisticated leaders like Obote and Amin exploited the politics of ethnicity and historical imbalances to entrench themselves. They branded whole populations guilty for the inequities of British colonialism and imposed collective punishment regardless of class or political association and sympathies.
