| | Uganda - Idi Amin |
 | | According to the Washington Post, the exile of Asians, whose population included many business owners, coupled with the refusal of the British and Israeli governments to sell Amin's government arms, led to economic turmoil. |
 | | As a result, Amin formed an alliance with Libyan dictator Moammar Qadaffi with the agreement that Amin, a converted Muslim, would turn his country into a Muslim state. |
 | | According to the New York Times, in 1976, when Palestinian terrorists hijacked an Air France Airbus, they were allowed to land the jet at Entebbe Airport and Amin agreed to hold the hostages. |
