 Kampala, being the capital city and economic engine of Uganda, has a diverse ethnic population drawn from all parts of the country and also from neighboring countries such as Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and even from countries as far away as India and China.Cross-cultural intimate relations in Kampala and even Uganda generally speaking are still unusual.Although many of Kampala's residents live and work in close contact, they still define themselves by their ethnic origins.
