Music used:
"Stormfront" by Kevin MacLeod
Notes:
- There are disputes on at what point Libya and others started helping Uganda, so I went with mid-February based on large troop presence.
- The Rwenzuruzu rebels' territory is based on limited information I could find that indicated at this time they were only active in the mountains.
- While anti-Amin rebels under the UNLF did largely participate in the front lines and advances with Tanzania, there is possibly some activity in rural areas that is unaccounted for. Due to limited information there was only information of rebellions for a few towns that were shown in the video.
