In 1909, British colonial authorities ordered the evacuation of 100,000 Ugandans from Lake Victoria islands to combat sleeping sickness, forcing families to abandon their ancestral homes, fishing grounds, and graves within just three months, with British soldiers enforcing the order and the world subsequently forgetting these communities existed.

They Told 100,000 Ugandans to Leave They Had 3 Months
Added:In 1909, the British told [music] 100,000 Ugandans to leave their homes.
Not because of war, not because of crime, because of a fly. The colonial government decided the only way to stop sleeping sickness [music] was to evacuate every island on Lake Victoria.
Families who had lived [music] there for generations gone in 3 months. Their fishing grounds, their ancestors graves, their entire world. Some resisted.
British soldiers were sent to enforce the order. The islands were emptied. And then, the world forgot they were ever there. This is the history they didn't teach you. History untold.
