Idi Amin's crimes were well known
In 1971, General Idi Amin overthrew the elected government of Milton Obote and declared himself president of Uganda, launching a ruthless eight-year regime in which an estimated 300,000 civilians were massacred. His expulsion of all Indian and Pakistani citizens in 1972along with increasing military expendituresbrought about the countrys economic decline, the impact of which lasted decades.
