<p>We have no evidence of state persecution of Christians based on religious belief
in Uganda. However, Uganda faces a terrorist threat, including from the Allied Democratic
Forces (ADF), or Islamic State DRC, which does target Christians, and has carried
out attacks against civilians in Uganda in recent years, notably an attack on a school
in Mpondwe on 16 June 2023, killing more than 40 people. I condemned this abhorrent
attack in the strongest possible terms at the time. The British High Commission remains
in close contact with Ugandan security services, who continue to conduct operations
against the ADF.</p>
