| Abstract: | The triumph of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) has dramatically changed the complexion of Ugandan politics. Many observers have attributed the victory of the NRM in January 1986 to the movement's support among the most abused Ugandan people, especially the peasantry. This article pays attention to the National Resistance Army and the fact that modern weapons have penetrated virtually all levels of Ugandan society; the NRM and the issue of human rights; the NRM and ethnicity/pluralism; and how 'magendo' - black marketeering and illicit, unregulated trading that accounts for two-thirds or more of the Ugandan economy - severely limits the ability of the NRM to implement economic policy, let alone ideology.
