Dusman Abassi Sabuni (died c. 2000) was a Ugandan military officer and rebel militant leader. He is known for serving as one of the first leaders of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamist rebel group based in western Uganda and eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, during the 1990s.
Born in Lira, Uganda, he became an officer in the Uganda Army following the completion of his secondary schooling. After Idi Amin's 1971 military coup, Sabuni quickly rose through the ranks and was made brigadier general and minister of industry. Sabuni fled the country in 1979 after Amin's overthrow during the Uganda–Tanzania War, but was detained by Kenyan authorities and sent back to Uganda. Sources disagree on the details of his later life, though it is known that he served as a senior rebel leader in the 1990s.
