Tito Okello

Tito Okello was a Ugandan military officer and politician who served as the President of Uganda from 1985 to 1986, following a coup that overthrew his predecessor, Milton Obote. His government, primarily supported by the Acholi ethnic group, faced significant opposition from various rebel factions, including those led by Yoweri Museveni. Okello’s presidency ended when Museveni's forces captured Kampala, leading to his eventual exile. His tenure is marked by the ongoing civil conflict that set the stage for the emergence of groups like the Lord’s Resistance Army.
