Kikosi Maalum (original) (raw)
Kikosi Maalum (meaning "Special Force" in Swahili), also known as the Special Battalion or the grand coalition, was a militia of Ugandan exiles formed in Tanzania to fight against the regime of Idi Amin. The unit was founded by and loyal to former Ugandan President Milton Obote, and served as his de facto private army. It was commanded by former army officers David Oyite-Ojok, and Tito Okello. Kikosi Maalum took part in the Uganda–Tanzania War, fighting alongside the Tanzanian military against Amin's forces. In course of this conflict, the militia was nominally unified with other Ugandan rebel groups, forming the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA) in 1979. After the fall of Amin's regime and Obote's return to power, Kikosi Maalum became the core of Uganda's new national army.

Liderados por Milton Obote, a Kikosi Maalum e a FRONASA, assim como vários grupos menores, incluindo o Movimento Salve Uganda e União da Liberdade de Uganda, formaram o grupo militar Exército de Libertação Nacional do Uganda (cujo braço político seria a Frente Nacional de Libertação do Uganda) em 1979 para combater ao lado das forças da Tanzânia contra Idi Amin. As forças da Kikosi Maalum foram comandadas por e Tito Okello.
