During Amin's rule, Nsubuga spoke against the government's human rights abuses. He also encouraged priests and nuns throughout the country to shelter people fleeing harassment by the army during the civil war that later raged during the Government of Milton Obote.[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE5DF1F38F931A15757C0A967958260 Cardinal Nsubuga, 76; Uganda Rights Backer], New York Times, 22 April 1991
