From: Korea Times (Seoul, Korea) | Date: October 9, 2000 | Copyright information

The present country of Uganda was forged by the British between 1890 and 1926. The name, Uganda was derived from the ancient kingdom of Buganda. The earliest inhabitants of Uganda were the stone age people. The people were gradually absorbed or replaced in the first millennium A.D. by the incoming agriculturalists and pastoralists. At the time of the European exploration, there were over thirty ethnic groups in Uganda. And those four ethnic communities could conveniently be divided into four broad linguistic groups namely: the Bantu, the Luo, the Atekerin and the Sudanic.
