Today, West Nile starts official celebrations to mark 100 years of being part of Uganda following the 1914 Anglo-Belgian Agreement. This is a well-deserved anniversary for a region that has endured a checkered past. Half of West Nile’s population was exiled when forces that toppled Idi Amin launched reprisal attacks on his kinsmen, resulting in the gruesome 1981 Ombaci massacre and destructive back-to-back armed rebellions. Show some love to West Nile!
