Liberation Day on January 26 is a special holiday celebrated in Uganda. It remembers the day in 1986 when Ugandan forces, led by Yoweri Museveni, took control of the country to bring peace and freedom after years of conflict. People use this day to honor those who worked hard for Uganda's freedom and to celebrate the peace that followed. There are usually events like speeches, songs, and dances. It's a time for Ugandans to feel proud of their country and to think about the importance of being free and living together in harmony.
