Dissolution of Bunyoro

Bunyoro was a Kingdom within Uganda. It was dissolved during the military coup led by Milton Obote. This reflected the desire for a unitary state as opposed to a federal arrangement in which the kingdoms within Uganda would retain some degree of internal autonomy.

The Kingdom was restored in 1993.
