Alice Auma Lakwena

Alice Auma was a Ugandan spirit medium who, as the head of the Holy Spirit Movement (HSM), led a millennial rebellion against the government forces of President Yoweri Museveni from August 1986 until November 1987. The primary spirit she purportedly channelled was that of a dead army officer called Lakwena, meaning "messenger", who those from the Acholi ethnic group believe to be a manifestation of the Christian Holy Spirit. The combined persona of Alice Auma channelling the spirit Lakwena is often referred to as "Alice Lakwena". Auma's HSM was ultimately defeated in November 1987.
