Without a doubt, that is the way he will be remembered by those who are familiar with the rein, of terror of Idi Amin, and the pain and suffering he caused the Ugandan people.

Yours truly lived in Essex England in the 1970s, and remembered the thousand of Indians, that Idi Amin; the Hitler-like monster expelled from Uganda: the place of their birth, thus they seek refuge in places such as England, and other nations in Europe. I saw with my very eye, that some of the arrivals from Uganda had nothing more than what they were wearing on their backs. Thanks to the late tyrant Idi Amin!
