The 1972 invasion of Uganda was an armed attempt by Ugandan insurgents, supported by Tanzania, to overthrow the regime of Idi Amin. Under the orders of former Ugandan President Milton Obote, insurgents launched an invasion of southern Uganda with limited Tanzanian support in September 1972. The rebel force mostly consisted of the "People's Army" whose forces were mainly loyal to Obote, but also included guerillas led by Yoweri Museveni. The operation was hampered by problems from the start, as a planned rebel commando raid had to be aborted, Amin was warned of the impending invasion, and the rebels lacked numbers, training, and equipment. Regardless, the militants occupied a few towns in southern Uganda at the invasion's start. However, no major popular uprising erupted as Obote had hoped.

  • غزو أوغندا عام 1972 هو محاولة مسلحة نفذها متمردون أوغنديون مدعومون من تنزانيا للإطاحة بنظام عيدي أمين. بأوامر من الرئيس الأوغندي السابق ميلتون أوبوتي، شن المتمردون الأوغنديون غزوًا لجنوب أوغندا بدعم تنزاني محدود في سبتمبر 1972. تألفت القوة المتمردة بمعظمها من الجيش الشعبي التي كانت قواتها موالية بصورة رئيسية لأوبوتي، ولكن تضمنت أيضًا مليشيات بقيادة يويري موسيفيني. تعرضت العملية لمشاكل من البداية، إذ أحبِطت غارة مخططة لقوات الكوماندوس، وحُذر أمين من الغزو الوشيك وافتقد المتمردون للأعداد الكبيرة والتدريب والتجهيزات. بصرف النظر، احتلت المليشيات عدة قرى جنوب أوغندا في بداية الغزو. ومع ذلك، لم يندلع أي احتجاج شعبي مثلما كان يأمل أوبوتي.

  • A invasão de Uganda em 1972 foi uma tentativa armada dos insurgentes ugandenses, apoiados pela Tanzânia, de derrubar o regime de Idi Amin. Sob as ordens do ex-presidente de Uganda Milton Obote, os insurgentes lançaram uma invasão ao sul de Uganda com apoio limitado da Tanzânia em setembro de 1972. A força rebelde consistia principalmente no "Exército do Povo", cujas tropas eram principalmente leais a Obote, mas também incluíam guerrilhas lideradas por Yoweri Museveni. A operação foi prejudicada por problemas desde o início, pois um raide planejado do comando rebelde teve que ser abortado, Amin foi avisado da invasão iminente e os rebeldes não tinham número, treinamento e equipamento. Apesar disso, os militantes ocuparam algumas cidades no sul de Uganda no início da invasão. No entanto, ne (pt)
