The Save Uganda Movement (abbreviated SUM) was a militant Ugandan opposition group which fought against the government of President Idi Amin from 1973 to 1979. Described as "specialists in sabotage" by journalist John Darnton, SUM attempted to overthrow Amin by waging a guerrilla campaign of bombings, raids, and assassinations. The movement mainly operated from Kenya and Tanzania. Unlike much of the Ugandan opposition at the time, SUM had no firm ideology and was decentralized, consisting of different groups with similar aims. SUM cooperated with the forces loyal to ex-President Milton Obote during the Uganda–Tanzania War (1978–1979) and eventually joined the Uganda National Liberation Front which formed the country's post-Amin governments.

  • O Movimento Salve Uganda (em inglês: Save Uganda Movement, abreviado SUM) foi um grupo militante de oposição de Uganda que lutou contra o governo do presidente Idi Amin de 1973 a 1979. Descrito como "especialistas em sabotagem" pelo jornalista John Darnton, tentou derrubar Amin travando uma campanha de guerrilha de ataques bombistas, raides e assassinatos. O movimento operou principalmente a partir do Quênia e da Tanzânia. Ao contrário de grande parte da oposição ugandense na época, o Movimento Salve Uganda não tinha uma ideologia firme e era descentralizado, consistindo em diferentes grupos com objetivos semelhantes. Cooperou com as forças leais ao ex-presidente Milton Obote durante a Guerra Uganda-Tanzânia (1978-1979) e posteriormente se juntou à Frente Nacional de Libertação de Uganda, que formou os governos pós-Amin do país.
