The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God

The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God was a religious organization in Uganda that emerged in the late 1980s, emphasizing strict adherence to the Ten Commandments and apocalyptic beliefs. Led by a charismatic leader, it preached moral reform and anticipated a divine punishment for moral decay. The group grew rapidly but was known for rigid discipline and long sermons. In 2000, it disbanded after a tragic mass killing that resulted in hundreds of deaths, with investigations suggesting a complex mix of religious zeal and tragedy. The movement’s history highlights tensions between religious fervor and social stability.
