West Nile Bank Front

The West Nile Bank Front ( WNBF ) was an armed rebel group in Uganda, who fought against President Yoweri Museveni. The group met in 1995 for the first time and was under the command of Juma Oris, who was foreign minister under dictator Idi Amin. Taban Amin, the son of the former dictator, was allegedly a commander WBNF unit.

The WBNF fought in 1997 from bases in southern Sudan and the Congo against Uganda People's Defense Force ( UPDF ). Initially, the group recruited their fighters with the promise of generous payment, but soon grabbed on forced recruitment by kidnapping back. After their last bases in southern Sudan had gone into a battle of Kaya, where the SPLA, UPDF and the various armed groups from the Congo took part, lost, she retreated to the Congo. Since then, was the WBNF as largely inactive, it was assumed that the Uganda National Rescue Front II ( UNRF II) formed from WBNF rebels at this time.

2004 an agreement with the Ugandan government was signed, so that the remaining 600 rebels from Congo were able to return to Uganda.
