The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) together with other security agencies will today celebrate the national army’s 42 Tarehe Sita anniversary.
The deputy defence spokesperson, Colonel Deo Akiiki, says the army is now more than committed to supporting Uganda’s social-economic initiatives that will see the country move from one level to another.
Tarehe Sita is the day UPDF marks the attack on Kabamba barracks in 1981 which launched the five-year struggle that brought the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Government to power 36 years ago. The day is celebrated annually on the 6th of February.
This year’s Tarehe Sita celebrations will be held at Kakyeka stadium in Mbarara.
The celebration will be held under the theme: “Recognising the Sacrifice of the founders of the Peoples Revolution for social economic transformation.”
