The Rwenzururu movement was an armed secessionist movement active in southwest Uganda, in the subnational kingdom of Tooro. The group was made up of Konjo and Amba fighters and was led by Isaya Mukirania.[1][2] It disbanded in 1982 following successful peace negotiations with the Ugandan government.[3][4]
