The
University Students' African Revolutionary Front
(USARF) was a political student group formed in
1967 at the University of Dar es Salaam
in Tanzania. The
group, which engaged in study and activism and held regular
meetings on Sundays, featured many students who would go on to
become influential politicians.
USARF was composed of students from Kenya
, Zambia
, Malawi
, Zimbabwe
, Ethiopia
, Sudan
, Tanzania, Uganda and
elsewhere in Africa. President of Uganda,
Yoweri Museveni was elected its chairman for
the whole time he was at university.
John Garang, another former USARF member, was
the vice-president of Sudan until his
death in July 2005. The group identified closely with African
liberation movements, especially FRELIMO in
Mozambique
