AMIN DAY PART 1: EAST AFRICAN LEADERS REMEMBER DR AMIN ERA

11 April 2002
45 years after his defeat and exile, Marshall Idi Amin's story becomes more mythical as
time flies but not all those who served him or fought him are extinct.
In 2002, East Africa's leaders gathered in Kampala to remember Amin in a colourful
function that started at Entebbe, ending at today's Serena Hotel.
OwanaPaedia relives the moments.

Humbled for great input . keep up good job.

[@OWANAPAEDIA]

Amen. Thank you for always tuning in.

[@drakephilant407]

Thanks mzee @Owana. Had Baba Moi not accepted to end his 24 yr rule in 2002, he wouldn't have deserved to celebrate end of Amin rule. Also, may be we might need to re-write history & debunk some falsehoods on Amin especially. This man loved Uganda at heart! Some of the killings we saw were confessed by 'other' people, but we had blamed them on Amin. Lastly, had Amin had a m7-like brain (not heart), he would've stayed longer in power by organizing elections (whose winner is always known b4), beefed his intelligence & Uganda would be a 2nd world country by now! God bless Ug

I agree with you that great East African leaders like Amin and Siad Barre the former President of Somalia before the civil war both of these leaders are scapegoated 💯

[@drakephilant407]

@@Mo77217 Yes Siad Barre was a great leader. In fact, he helped calm the Nyerere-Amin row in its early stages, but the saboteurs (mr m7) could not let this happen. He needed to capitalize on this conflict, thus devising all 'means' to keep it alive. Mess not with the brain of mr m7.

[@abdulhakimhasan7673]

@@drakephilant407The nyerere - amin row was a side petty development , amid the prior despach of ugandans, burundies and rwandans to train in mozambique and tanzania. As preferred and planned.

[@1wun1]

​@@drakephilant407 Amin had to avoid neighborhood feuds especially by not attacking Tz, he could have stayed in power even without elections.

[@abdulhakimhasan7673]

I was in Uganda in Al - hajj Idi Amin's reign , it was a real fantastic time. He had a loose security man around, as he goes to greet the thronging multitude and multitude of crowds. His face always chuckling.

[@OWANAPAEDIA]

Wow.. Thank you for much for tuning in.

[@herbertlulume2810]

Tony, Thanks for always taking us back in time. Democracy, tyranny, and dictatorship were the core issues during this occasion. But are we there yet?Kilabika bizemu!!

[@jimmyrukundo2336]

Ooh yeah it's Non other than de man himself Idd Amin Dada Salongo the Conqueror of the British Empire D.s.o, heavy Weight Champion of Uganda! Born to a Kakwa father and Lugbara mother. In 1946, he joined the King's African Rifles (KAR) of the British Colonial Army as a cook. He rose to the rank of lieutenant, taking part in British actions against Somali rebels and then the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya. Uganda gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1962, and Amin remained in the army, rising to the position of major and being appointed commander of the Uganda Army in 1965. He became aware that Ugandan President Milton Obote was planning to arrest him for misappropriating army funds, so he launched the 1971 Ugandan coup d'état and declared himself president! Big up to Owanapedia the one Stop Center of Uganda's history. ✍️😷🙏

[@elavaiineverbackdown4377]

Idd Amin The best complete president Uganda has ever had.

[@lionrulethejunglewithoutfe3207]

Idi Amin was one of the best President Africa had, a President who was not afraid to fight the West and that is the reason they stigmatize him, calling him a butcher.

[@dan88muwanga]

Thanks for these historical videos,@owanapaedia would you possibly have any videos on the late Paulo Muwanga

[@OWANAPAEDIA]

We will be sharing something about Paulo very soon. Stay tuned

IDI AMIN was a true leader who loved his country, we will always miss him

[@bulimojoseph]

Amazing moment

[@agrippabyayesu]

Thanks so much for the great work Mzee Owana🤍✊

[@OWANAPAEDIA]

Amen. Thank you for tuning in Son.

[@MubaleEmmanuel]

Thanks Mr. Owana for this. It is clear that Idi Amin Dada will never 'die', even as he's supposed to be resting, he keeps all of us awake by his intriguing life and works. This can be evidenced by the reaction of Yoweri M7 recently to the proposal to establish an Idi Amin Institute. 21 years in the grave, Idi Amin still keeps M7 awake! This is Owana's contribution, all of us affected by Amin will have to play a part, by reading, researching, and always questioning all naratives of this remarkable son of Africa, wherever you stand, for or against him. The truth will be told. Where are the mass graves of the 300,000-500,000 people claimed to have been killed between 1971-1979, where are lists of the missing persons in their hundreds of thousands? Let's not forget the great social control tool called PROPAGANDA. It is a netral word and practice that can be employed for good or bad.

[@1wun1]

Those mass graves were most likely pure fabrications, one can't easily hide that.

[@andrubee]

Nice content

[@OWANAPAEDIA]

Amen. Thank you for tuning in.

Thank you sir

[@sangyinmedia]

It just shows how time flies. M7 outlived all those leaders while also at that time , both Obote and Amin were alive

[@barigyefrank1905]

Could you tell the beautiful things IDI AMIN did?

[@OWANAPAEDIA]

Check the Idi Amin Playlist on this channel. Thank you.

[@Mamelodiful]

I want to meet you and buy you a coffee or tea for just an hour.. i feel you have a lot more to share..

[@abdulhakimhasan7673]

It's so moving and covet , inviting omwana to coffee and tea viz a beer and loss. At the time of idi amin, the army was everywhere stinking with alcohol.

[@ivanmuzeeyi186]

But where does one get these archives from,have you been recording them since 1960 or you bought them from the original producers?

[@OWANAPAEDIA]

It depends. Thank you for tuning in.

[@rychardokwiekoroi6723]

The point is while at Nile hotel the MC refused to mention Jesca Alupo as one of the parade commander . List all the rest and ignored H.E Alupo . Mr Owana am ain't right and 20 years down the road Jessie is VP .

[@flamezealous]

Yoyo Owana, anti Buganda anti/Baganda Luo boy from Buikwe 😏

[@bwetejoseph9206]

But to be sincere,Idi Amin Dada remains Uganda's best president ever and Mu7 being the worst. The man had his country at heart,he let the country's resources to benefit the citizens unlike today where foreigners are more privileged than the wananchi. May his soul rest in eternal peace, forever loved.

Whats the name of the Capt commanding the parade

[@OWANAPAEDIA]

The parade commander was Lt Col Willis Byarugaba

[@emmanziza5133]

Kindly do you know where he is now?

[@1wun1]

Amin seemed to love his country, but he was too proud and ignorant. Like quarreling with his only access to the sea.

@@donavajay what do you know you should talk about how your nation has been reduced to economic servitude because of the current regime if Amin was alive Uganda would not be under Ba-hindi economic subjugation and our beloved Ugandan sisters, daughters, and mothers would not be sent to work in the Middle East to be mistreated and brutalised
