@@Sebastian1018 it is unfortunate you took the journal smear rhetoric for the truth. It is true he was ruthless but there is NO evidence he was a cannibal. The British influenced his becoming head of state and they thought he was a perfect puppet to serve their interests in Uganda and the Great Lakes region. That’s why when Obote was in Singapore he was told in the same conference that one of you won’t be going back to your country’s as head of state. How did they know that? Amin loved his country he had Ugandans at heart. We are proud of his efforts. The British wanted to build apartheid-like Uganda where their replacement of the Asian traders were masters and aboriginal Ugandans as slaves. Our elders tell us all how they were cheated by these Asian traders when they sold their produce. Places were demarcated which were no go zone black Ugandans. Those who served the Asian elites were treated worse off than slaves. Amin himself as he was growing his family was a victim of Asian mistreatment when working for Mehta. We are lucky he caused a disruption in this. This angered the British and every effort was invested in pulling him down including propaganda. Come to Uganda and compare the Asians in Uganda today they are reformed because of Amin go to Kenya you will be surprised how the Kenyan Asians mistreat the black Kenyans. He had his weak points his enemies capitalised on that to maximally malign him. The contemporary Ugandan is proud of him and his contribution than some pawns. He established corporations which employed masses despite his struggling economy his government established the Uganda airlines, introduced colour TV broadcast a technology which was rare at the time, built an earth satellite which eased telecommunications, he established the diary corporation, boasted cooperatives and several others. He was fought from all corners including withholding importation of house hold basic commodities like soap which at the time came from Kenya.

He never spent a single hour repenting or paying for his crimes and genocide.

[@TheYakubh]

Idi Amin was telling the truth about his financial status. But it seems you have a very hard time believing a sitting African President can be poor. The 'evidence' you provided about the purported 'goodies' that were apparently lavished on him by the Saudi Arabia government should be FACTUAL. In case there is an iota of truth on your claim, that his 'financial status' you sensationally put as much more improved, then you should have done a proper research and be aware that the timings of the interview and his life in Saudi are different. This interview was done around 1977. And he relocated to Saudi after 1979. In case you're tempted to come up with credible 'facts' to back up your claim, which I doubt you have, it will not have any impact on his remarks. Idi Amin was a Muslim way since his childhood. This is another fact that discredits the lie where you purport that he 'converted' to Islam while in Saudi Arabia. And just to sum things up, President Idi Amin never looted from the Uganda coffers as is the tradition with African Presidents. He was quite strict and never entertained any form of corruption. When President Idi Amin left Uganda:- The entire Uganda Road network was without a single pothole. He left a working health sector. All hospital services were operational. The theatres were working and government pharmacy was fully stocked with drugs and medicines. The National carrier he had established during his rule was so profitable. In fact Uganda Airlines was still functional several years later. Even through the bloody power wrangles that followed his departure. He left a very strong currency. Uganda shilling was equal to the Kenya shilling. It during a very bloody era after him when civil fight broke out that inflation rate went out of control. Five years, from 1980 to 1985, internal strife ushered in the rules of Milton Obote, Godfrey Binaisa, Yusuf Lule, Tito Okello and finally Yoweri Museveni. His track record was beyond exemplary. And many of the media photos of purported military personnel harassing the masses were staged. Underground factional rebel groups, some led by the current President were engaging in massacre and formenting civil strifes, creating propaganda campaigns alongside the western media Hard to relate, all throughout, Uganda remained peaceful until when the Tanzania Army drove their tanks into Kampala.

The last king 🤴

[@simmytheegiant]

Absolutely interesting being a Westerner, and being told only horror stories about this man, and propaganda to make us look like the heros... but so many other people who were much closer to the actual incidents have such different opinions, and think he is a hero... really makes me rethink this situation I could never understand it fully... very very interesting, and I would love to hear more about it now. Definitely wouldn't be the first time we have made lies about other leader around the world strictly because they don't agree with what our leaders think is "good". He is obviously a very smart person, and we can't dismiss this.

I can not avoid thinking of Haile Selassié also. But if we get over the pro/con trivia...The only thing that is constant - is the change. The dish one prepares is eaten by others. But one undisputable common trait among those that were successful leaders in prospering countries: They were demonised, exiled or killed by foreign goons and their countries then wrecked, You do not have to be righ/left thinker to see this and you do not have to like or hate it ...just (unless naive like a covidist) sane and sober.

Many years ago when I was in the British army our pay office staff seargent told me that a few years earlier he had been seconded to the Ugandan army. He had to teach Amin how to use a cheque book. At the end of the first month Amin was very overdrawn on his bank account and was told to immediately stop spending money. Amin's reply was, why ??? I still have plenty of cheques in my cheque book, so I can still spend.

Not too long before Amin hurriedly left office he summoned the British ambassador to the presidential palace in Kampala. Amin made an official complaint to the ambassador about how he was being presented in the British media. He told him that if it did not cease forthwith he, Amin, would take Uganda out of the commonwealth and remove the queens head from all postage stamps in Uganda. The ambassador told Amin that if Her Majesty's image was removed from Ugandan stamps Britain would retaliate by removing Amin's image from all British marmalade jars.

Shame on you! You went to all that trouble to make an unfunny, racist barb or what you probably perceive as a 'jolly jape'. It's clear what ancient era you have come from and should have remained in, with the kind of mindset that helped fuel Idi Amin's popularity and will always be resisted.
