Other Ugandan Traditional States
Note: This record deals with traditional states other
than the kingdoms of Buganda, Bunyoro-Kitara, Tooro, and Ankole, which
are covered under the main record of Uganda. There are three parts: (A)
Kooki, incorporated into Buganda; (B) polities combined with Nkore in 1901
to constitute Ankole; (C) Busoga, a culturally and traditionally homogeneous
group of states that were loosely confederated by the protectorate government
(on and off) from 1906; (D) and the paramount chieftancies of the Acholi, Lango and Padhola which were recognized by the Ugandan government after 1999.
