About the battle
The Battle of Bondo was a battle fought on 27 May 1979 near the town of Bondo, in northern Uganda, between Tanzanian forces and Ugandan troops loyal to Idi Amin, during the Uganda–Tanzania War. A band of Uganda Army soldiers opened fire on the Tanzanian Minziro Brigade as it advanced towards Arua, before fleeing in the face of a Tanzanian charge. Several Tanzanians were killed and wounded by their own artillery. It was the last battle of the war. Arua fell without resistance shortly thereafter.
