	Idi Amin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Partly on the basis of his "visions" and erratic behaviour, Idi Amin is often believed to have suffered from neurosyphilis: Deborah Hayden makes the case for this hypothesis in her Pox: Genius, Madness and the Mysteries of Syphilis.
		Among the most prominent people killed by Idi Amin were: Benedicto Kiwanuka, the former Prime Minister and later Chief Justice; Janani Luwum, the Anglican Archbishop; Joseph Mubiru, the former Governor of the Central Bank; Frank Kalimuzo, the Vice Chancellor of Makerere University; and Byron Kawadwa, a prominent playwright.
		Idi Amin died in Saudi Arabia on August 16, 2003, aged 79, and was buried in Jeddah.

	Idi Amin - MSN Encarta
		Idi Amin (1925?-2003), president of Uganda (1971-1979), also known as Idi Amin Dada, whose brutality and disregard for the rule of law led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and plunged the country into chaos and poverty.
		Amin was promoted to captain by 1963 and was rapidly promoted to the rank of colonel and deputy commander of the army in 1964.
		Amin was condemned by much of the international community for his brutality, but when Britain and the United States cut aid to Uganda in 1972, he successfully turned to Libya and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

	Idi Amin Dies
		Amin is alleged to have chopped up his wife Kay as his children watched to punish her for adultery, had her limbs sewn back the wrong way, and showed the body to the children as "a lesson".
		Amin, perhaps more than any other Ugandan president, seems to have understood that beneath the sophistication, the self-satisfied generosity of a people spoilt by a land that is fertile to a fault, of these "citizens of the pearl" lay something sinister that he could exploit.
		Amin was said to have never known his father, being conceived after his mother had a fleeting affair with a man who, according to one account, was a Kakwa sugarcane cutter on Lugazi sugar plantation, some 50 kilometres east of Kampala.

	Idi Amin
		Idi Amin played such a role in the history of Uganda that even now after over twenty years since his departure, articles are being written about him and his evil influence.
		Amin was born in either 1924 or 1925 into the Muslim Kakwa tribe in Koboko in northwest Uganda, close to the borders of Zaire - now the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan.
		Amin was thus a member of the ruling elite that moved into positions of power when independence was declared, first as a crony of Obote, who made him chief of the army and air force, and then as his sworn rival.

		Idi Amin, who has died at an age thought to be 78, was one of the most brutal military dictators to wield power in post-independence Africa.
		Amin's first foot on the ladder was the traditional one for poor boys with little training, seeking to better themselves: he joined the army.
		Amin was a considerable linguist, and once explained to me that he was much more fluent in his own Kakwa or its two related northern languages, than in English, which he had mastered only after joining the army.

	Ron Mwangaguhunga on Idi Amin on National Review Online
		Idi Amin, a fifth-grade dropout, pretty much left the mechanism of the foreign ministry to run itself, but planted spies and yes-men throughout the organization and at strategic overseas locations to ensure loyalty to his regime.
		Amin then blew into town on a jet with skimpily dressed personal dancers (remember, this is Kips Bay in October) and his own food — live chickens (he feared poisoning by enemies at the Waldorf Astoria) — in tow, and tore up my dad's speech: He had his own in mind.
		Amin had been Muslim, spewed anti-Semitic rhetoric, supported Arab nations, and was something of a martyr to the Arab world because of the notorious events at Entebbe.

		Amin said: "I have decided to contribute 10,000 Uganda shillings from my savings, and I am convinced that many Ugandans will donate generously to rescue their innocent friends who are becoming victims of sharp tax increases, tighter credit squeeze and a possible pay squeeze."
		If Idi Amin was just a buffoon, and not evil and brutal to boot, then his words might simply be funny, and in a way thought-provoking, as they challenged the traditional relationship of Africa and England.
		But the difficulty is that by the time of his overthrow Idi Amin was responsible for around 300,000 deaths and the economic ruin of Uganda.

		Amin's eight-year reign of terror put him at similar levels with the likes of Adolf Hitler and he is today regarded as one of the most notorious dictators in history.
		Amin's first task in office was to purge the army of all officers and men who were from the same ethnic group as Dr. Obote whom he had overthrown.

	DVD Savant Review: General Idi Amin Dada
		The appalling dictator Idi Amin of Uganda is shown up close and personal in a self-directed filmic portrait intended to spread his 'wisdom', but which instead reveals his megalomania and utter monstrousness.
		Amin is an ex-boxer, and in one of his infantile speeches talks about delivering a knock-out to his enemies.
		Amin tells his ministers that the local chiefs' main duty is to 'separate the good from the bad and denounce the bad', which conjures up visions of a country-wide witch-hunt where lower authorities are encouraged to turn over ever more citizens to be killed.

		Idi Amin himself demanded that Schroeder remove particular scenes from the film under the threat of killing french citizens living in Uganda.

		In 1971 he seized control of the government, toppling the regime of Milton Obote.
		In power, Amin exhibited an unpredictable personality, often capricious and cruel yet displaying a modicum of shrewdness and cunning.
		His relatively brief regime was nonetheless vicious and corrupt; he brutally suppressed other ethnic groups and political enemies, killed what is believed to be nearly 300,000 (most innocent of any wrongdoing), tortured uncounted thousands more, and looted the nation’s treasury.
