1. De parel van Afrika:<\/strong>\u00a0Oeganda staat ook bekend als de 'Parel van Afrika' - een term die werd bedacht door de Britse staatsman Sir Winston Churchill om de vele schoonheden van het land te beschrijven: besneeuwde bergtoppen, groene heuvels, diepe bossen en kristalheldere meren.<\/p>\n

2. Onafhankelijkheid:<\/strong>\u00a0Oeganda werd in 1962 onafhankelijk van het VK (Oeganda was geen Britse kolonie zoals Kenia, maar een Brits protectoraat)<\/p>\n

3. Nationaal volkslied en motto:<\/strong>\u00a0Het offici\u00eble motto van Oeganda luidt: 'Voor God en mijn Land'. Het nationale volkslied is 'Oh Uganda, Land van Schoonheid'.<\/p>\n

5. Nationale vogel:<\/strong>\u00a0De grijze kraanvogel is de nationale vogel van Oeganda. De niet zo mooie Maraboe ooievaar is echter de meest voorkomende vogel in het land.<\/p>\n

Feit: De nationale vogel van Oeganda is de grijze kraanvogel (boven). De meest voorkomende vogel is echter de minder aantrekkelijke maraboe ooievaar (onder).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. L<\/strong>anguages:<\/strong>\u00a0Er worden ongeveer 40 talen gesproken in Oeganda. De Afrikaanse talen in het land kunnen worden onderverdeeld in 3 taalfamilies: Bantoetalen (Niger-Congo talen), Nilotische talen (Nilo-Sahara talen) en de Centraal-Soedanese talen (de laatste wordt door sommigen beschouwd als onderdeel van de Nilotische talen). Engels is de offici\u00eble taal van het land en Oegandees Engels is er een lokaal dialect van. Swahili en Arabisch behoren ook tot de 40 talen die in Oeganda worden gesproken.<\/p>\n

7. Bananen:<\/strong>\u00a0Oeganda is de op \u00e9\u00e9n na grootste bananenproducent ter wereld, na India. Oeganda produceert jaarlijks ongeveer 11,1 miljoen ton bananen, terwijl India 29,7 miljoen ton produceert (respectievelijk 8% en 20% van de wereldproductie). Naast bananen staat Oeganda ook bekend om zijn smakelijke ananassen.<\/p>\n

8. Fastfood:<\/strong>\u00a0Het favoriete fastfood van de Oegandezen heet 'rolex' en is een soort eierpannenkoek met van alles, van groenten tot worstjes. De naam komt van een snelle uitspraak van het Engelse 'roll of eggs' in Luganda. Gastronomisch is de rolex het best te vergelijken met een opgerolde omelet of een eierburrito.<\/p>\n

9. Vleesstoofpot:<\/strong>\u00a0Oegandezen zijn dol op vleesstoofpotten - dat wil zeggen stoofpotten met veel vlees en orgaanvlees, zoals lever, maag, ingewanden, enz. Niets gaat verloren!<\/p>\n

10. Alcohol:<\/strong>\u00a0Van alle Afrikaanse landen heeft Oeganda een van de hoogste alcoholconsumptiecijfers. De meest voorkomende alcoholische drank is 'waragi', een soort moonshine gin ('waragi' is een term voor moonshine). Veel van de alcoholische dranken in Oeganda worden gemaakt van bananen.<\/p>\n

11. Victoriameer:<\/strong>\u00a0Het grootste meer van Afrika, het Victoriameer, ligt op de grens van Oeganda, Tanzania en Kenia. De vader van de Amerikaanse president Barack Obama (Barack Hussein Obama, Sr) werd geboren aan de oevers van het Victoriameer.<\/p>\n
