We still remember former Ugandan dictator, Field Marshal Idi Amin Dada Oumee, President-for-life, who ruled Uganda with iron fist, from 1971 till 1978, when he was chased out of the country by the combined forces of Tanzanian and Ugandan soldiers?
Idi Amin was a ruthless dictator. He was a man of action, and a no-nonsense man. Idi Amon was never a pretender. He always bared his mind on everything he thought about, and according to how he understood it. He had no time for niceties, or for painting of words.
During Idi Amin s reign, apart from his notorious human rights abuses, the Ugandan economy was also in shambles. But none of his aides would dare relate to him the exact position of things in the country, else such a person would be fired, and possibly got eliminated. Everybody was afraid of him.
