Uganda
The Republic of Uganda is located on the East side of Africa, bordered to the east by Kenya, to the north by South Sudan, to the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to the southwest by Rwanda, and the south by Tanzania.
Uganda fell under British rule, it was considered a protectorate of the British, and it continued under British rule for more than half a century, until it gained its independence in 1962 AD, it has a population of 44 million people according to t the latest statistic in 2016. The Ugandan people speak English as an official language as well as the Ugandan and Swahili languages.
Most of Uganda's population is affiliated with Christianity, around 82.4% of the total population, and vice versa Muslims constitute a minority of 13.7% of the total population, in addition to other religions that constitute small percentages. The ethnicities of the Ugandan people are consisting of Bantu, the Sudanese who live in the west of the Nile, the Nilotic, and the Hamit.
The Muslim minority in Uganda suffers from marginalization and exclusion in various sectors in terms of political, economic, educational, and health. For example, the number of Muslims in Parliament does not exceed 20 people out of 539.
The British colonial policy over many years contributed to strengthening the Christian presence through the political, economic, and professional privileges offered to them, in addition to restricting quality education to missionary schools from which Muslim children are often alienated, because of their clear impact on changing ideas of Muslim students.
In addition, the high rate of poverty among members of the Muslim minority resulting from the low level of quality of education, which reduces the possibility of achieving a good level of income, moreover, marginalization in various sectors of life, reduces their opportunity to obtain public jobs.
Furthermore, the spread of poverty has allowed in areas where the Muslim minority is located, such as (Twena, Ambala, Ankankafort, Portel, and Surubi) and they are devoid of any development plans, due to the spread of Christian organizations that flood the country and consider Uganda a fertile ground for their work, which has huge capabilities and budgets in all fields, peculiarly, media field in which it controls many local radio stations and harnesses them to achieve its missionary goals.
