This guy was the definition of a buffoon. But i hear he left Uganda carrying nothing, how comes he did not amass wealth like other African despots??

Because his story is only given from one perspective, that is negatively like the white man likes it.
His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.

He thought his army could chapa TZ army akawatuma huko. Wakapewa Ma RKO wakarudi mbio Uganda. Amin sensing danger akaitisha press conference ati they make peace with Tz ati hakuna haja ya vita.
Kumbuka he is the one who invaded Tz for no apparent reason . Tz ikasema haitambui hio “white flag” yake. Jeshi ya Tz ikaingia Ug ikachapa mtu. That’s how his downfall started. From there I don’t know how he fikad Saudi Arabia where he was given a sanctuary. I think alipitia na huko Sudan.
All of you don’t know Idi Amin. Your Business streets in Every kenyan town are controlled by Indians, all business along A109, be it buses, or trucks, are controlled by indians, unlike Uganda.
All cement business in Kenya is controlled by Indians, all Steel business in kenya is controlled by Indians.
His economic approach was that only productive people should be in Uganda, beggers and the disabled add no value to the economy.
Idi Amin was a true Pan Africanist, and Kenyatta respected him alot.
His only downside was he liked giving other African Presidents advice in public. He was a know it all.
Nyinyi mmesoma historia nusu
A good leader . I admire him alot
Most people judge Amin based on the propaganda movie and hear say.
He had his faults just like any other leader, but he was for his people.
He wanted to empower his fellow Ugandans and chase away exploitative foreigners. His undoing was killing destitutes and invading neighbouring countries.
Si huyu msee alikuwa anataka grab part of Kenya? Ati from western to part of RV. Alafu alikuwa anakula watu. Ama hizo ni story tulikuwa tunadanganywa tukiwa watoi.
Hi
His English beats ya yt2 bila sheng
This guy wasnt a buffon. He was just uneducated. Consider that he was illiterate and he still managed to pull off a coup against Obote who was another highly intelligent AND educated man.
The fact that he was uneducated means he was generally operating out of his depth.
The media had made me believe he was a Mulu Mutisya type.

I was mistaken.
Idi. Amin was a very close friend of Israel and they knew his capabilities. His speech at OAU made Castro cut ties with Israel, thts how influential he was. He double crossed Israel, and that was his mistake
Lakini that war bankrupted TZ vibaya sana, Nyerere was doing his buddy Obote, a favor. Obote was also really hated BTW, kwanza by the Baganda for what he did to Kabaka Mutesa.
The movie was produced by Indians, they wanted to portray him as a monster for kicking them out of the country. It seems UG had so many Indians after independence.
The difference between Idi Amin and Mobutu is that one was a puppet of international powers and got to stay in power longer.
Bare fact, if we chased indians out of kenya, the economy will collapse 2 hours later!
Hehehe. When African leaders still had some semblance of freedom and patriotism
Lakini their control of the economy is not as it used to be during Moi days. Kitu najua wamecontrol manufacturing sector sana.
