Uganda: Jewish community

Mzansi Afrika has a post on the Jewish community in Uganda..”I had no idea that Uganda is home to a small ethnic Jewish community. They live in the eastern Ugandan town of Mbale and are known as the Abayudaya, which is the Luganda word for Jews.The community was founded by a warrior called Kakungulu, who was used by the British to help conquer Uganda.”
