Background
Uganda achieved independence from the UK in 1962. The dictatorial regime of Idi AMIN (1971-79) was responsible for the deaths of some 300,000 opponents; guerrilla war and human rights abuses under Milton OBOTE (1980-85) claimed at least another 100,000 lives. During the 1990s, the government promulgated non-party presidential and legislative elections.

Patonga Proudsticks (Uganda)
Although Quidditch is not played as widely in Africa as in Europe, it is gaining in popularity.
Uganda in particular is emerging as a keen Quidditch-playing nation led by the Proudsticks, who astonished most of the Quidditch world by holding the Montrose Magpies to a draw in 1986.
Six Proudstick players recently represented Uganda in the World Cup, the highest number of fliers from a single team ever united on a national side.
