The Uganda Muslim Liberation Army (abbreviated UMLA) was a Muslim rebel group in Uganda. Its fighters were mainly from among the Baganda ethnic group's Muslim minority along with some non-Baganda Muslims.[1] The group was formed in 1995 in opposition to the Museveni government after accusing it of persecuting Muslims in Buganda.[2]
