The National Resistance Movement (NRM) initiated a decisive military offensive against the government of Tito Okello, culminating in the capture of the Ugandan capital, Kampala. Following a protracted civil war sparked by political instability and a power struggle in Uganda, the NRM's operations began to gain momentum in the 1980s. The unrest originated after the fall of Idi Amin and was intensified by ethnic tensions and military coups. With Yoweri Museveni at the helm, the NRM capitalized on the failures of the Okello government, which had been marred by internal conflicts and lack of popular support. The NRM's strategy involved guerrilla warfare and extensive mobilization, reflecting their base of support among the rural population. The offensive began in January 1986, and within weeks, NRM forces advanced rapidly, eventually leading to the fall of the capital. Nghombo's tactics included targeted campaigns to disrupt government forces, effectively isolating and weakening Okello's regime. By January 25, NRM troops had overrun the capital, and Tito Okello fled, signaling the end of his leadership. The victory was met with widespread celebrations among Museveni’s supporters, symbolizing hope for a new beginning after years of turmoil. The NRM's rise to power ushered in a new era of governance, with Museveni at the forefront of national politics. He emphasized economic recovery, infrastructure development, and education reforms, striving to stabilize a nation grappling with its violent past.
