Kabamba is a location in Mubende District, Central Uganda.
Kabamba is located approximately 52km (32miles), by road, southwest of Mubende, the location of the district headquarters.[1] Its location lies close to the northern banks of River Katonga, where it intersects with Villa Road, approximately 190km (120miles), west of Kampala, the capital of Uganda and the largest city in that country.[2] The coordinates of Kabamba are:0°15'00.0"N, 31°11'06.0"E (Latitude:0.2500; Longitude:31.1850).
By 1981, Kabamba housed a military base, known as the "Kabamba Military Barracks"[3] or "Kabamba Training School". This location housed "several companies" belonging to the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) whose members were training soldiers of Uganda's then-national military, the Uganda National Liberation Army. In addition, the base hosted a large armoury.
In an attempt to capture the weapons of the armoury, the Popular Resistance Army (PRA) rebel group under Yoweri Museveni launched a raid on the Kabamba Military Barracks on 6 February 1981 during the early stages of the Ugandan Bush War. The attack failed, although the PRA retreated in good order. The PRA later merged with other rebels, forming the National Resistance Army (NRA) which captured Kabamba later into the Bush War.[4]
At this time the human population of Kabamba is not publicly known.
