The people of North Kigezi (Rukungiri)were invaded by Bakiga tribe from South Kigezi (Kabale) around 1940s. They came in large numbers and grabbed land, leadership and disorganized the people they found settled in the North Kigezi.
The Bakiga were of different clans like; the Basigi, Basyaba, Babwiga among others. On arrival they settled in different areas alongside their clans as for example some settled in Rujumbura county, Rubabo, Kanungu among others.
The problem came up later when the original people of the area refused their leadership, challenged the local tax payment, resisted their land expansions which gave an opportunity the original inhabitants of North Kigezi people to regain their local leadership.
The recent case of resistance against the Bakiga migrations took place in 2014 in Kibaale Hoima district of Uganda.
