Juma Abdalla Oris[a] (died in March 2001) was a Ugandan military officer and government minister during the dictatorship of Idi Amin.

[8] Following his takeover of the Information Ministry, a series of new directives and restrictions were handed down to the Ugandan news industry.

[10] Oris was dismissed from his position as foreign minister as well as from all of his ministerial portfolios by Amin in 1978,[11] probably as part of a political purge following Adrisi's removal from power.

[12] Officially, Amin claimed that Oris had been fired because Uganda's image abroad had been mismanaged and Ugandan diplomats had not been paid regularly under his tenure.

[2] On 4 April 1979, Amin organized a four‐member war planning committee which consisted of his most trusted followers, including Oris.

[4][17] In the late 1980s and early 1990s Joseph Kony, the leader of the rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army claimed to be possessed by the spirit of Juma Oris.

[15] Oris managed to gain support in northern Uganda by exploiting ethnic tensions and the lack of development opportunities in the area, offering potential recruits money in exchange for joining the WNBF.

[22] While waging an insurgency against the Ugandan government, Oris allegedly committed human rights violations by planting landmines in ambush attempts.

In March 1997, the WNBF and its allies suffered a heavy defeat when South Sudanese rebels of the SPLA overran their bases in Zaire and Sudan, and then ambushed their retreating forces near Yei during Operation Thunderbolt.
