EARTH · VERIFIED CONFLICT RECORD

Conflict in Uganda

NOT LIVE · UGANDA RECORD RUNS 6 SEPT 2024 19 APR 2026

This is a verified record, not a live feed. UCDP hand-codes every event from published sources, which takes weeks — the newest event here is from 2026-05-31. For what is happening right now, LEV’s Global Incidents layer carries the machine-coded newswire at about fifteen minutes’ delay.

Between 6 Sept 2024 and 19 Apr 2026, researchers at Uppsala University hand-coded 8 events of organised violence in Uganda from published sources. Their best estimate is 12 people killed — and their own range runs 10–13, which is the honest width of what anyone actually knows.

What the record holds

DEATHS RECORDED · UCDP BEST ESTIMATE12

UCDP range 10–13. On 1of these events UCDP’s own bounds do not bracket its own best estimate; the range above spans everything it published rather than hiding the conflict in the figures.

EVENTS8

6 placed precisely enough to map; 2 counted but not pinned, because UCDP could place them no closer than a province.

Who was doing the killing

State-based2 events · 4 killedA government is one of the sides — a civil war or a war between states.
Non-state3 events · 5 killed (UCDP range 5–6)Two armed groups fight each other and neither is a government — militias, cartels, communal violence.
One-sided3 events · 3 killed (UCDP range 1–3)An armed group or government kills civilians who are not fighting back.
