It was fought mainly in the Luweero Triangle\, where the NRA established strongholds and built grassroots support among civilians. \nThe NRA gradually gained territory while Obote's government and later General Tito Okello\, who took power in a 1985 coup\, struggled to maintain control. \nOn January 26\, 1986\, the NRA captured the capital\, Kampala\, forcing Tito Okello's government to flee. Yoweri Museveni was sworn in as President of Uganda days later\, declaring the beginning of a "fundamental change" in Uganda's political system. \nNRM Liberation Day commemorates the end of political turmoil and military dictatorship\, the beginning of a new government that promised democracy and national unity\, and the sacrifice of fighters\, civilians\, and communities who supported the resistance.
