Hero or dictator? Ugandans divided over Idi Amin Dada’s legacy | Revisited • FRANCE 24 English

Forty years after Idi Amin Dada’s bloody regime came to an end, Ugandans are divided over how to view their former leader. For older Ugandans, the president’s eight years at the helm evokes nothing but bitter memories of terror, torture and massacres. But many younger Ugandans associate him with more positive qualities, such as that of a builder, a nationalist and a separatist. Our reporters went to Uganda to trace Amin’s footsteps.
When we first began filming this report on the Idi Amin Dada years in Uganda (1971-1979), we expected to hear damning accounts of the brutality that marked the despot’s time in power. But to our surprise, it turned out that only the eldest Ugandans, those who lived through that era of dictatorship - whether they played an active role or were collateral victims - regretted the instability and massacres.
So has it only taken 40 years for Ugandans to forget the 300,000 deaths attributed to Amin’s rule? To overlook the fact that atrocities committed by his men were their daily lot, that people lived in fear, that Ugandans could be kidnapped and tortured to death to confess to a crime they did not commit?
World’s second-youngest country
With 80 percent of its population under the age of 30, Uganda is now the second-youngest country in the world in terms of population age. Few remember the Amin years. The youngest have only ever known the current president, Yoweri Museveni, in power since 1986. Uganda is currently enjoying the longest period of political stability since independence in 1962 and has high hopes for its future oil production. But millions of young people are still looking for a job, while the population's size continues to rise and corruption remains rampant.
In the minds of the youngest, nostalgia for a Uganda that had influence on the international stage, and where "hospitals and roads" were built, has superseded the legacy of the dark chapters of history. Some of the most important infrastructure in the capital, Kampala, was indeed built at that time - a time when Uganda even took the lead in global coffee production. Many politicians still align themselves with this economic legacy today, like pastor Abwed Bwanika, a failed presidential candidate who only granted us a few minutes of interview time.
In this report, we met young people nostalgic for an imaginary and bygone golden age, but also elderly Ugandans who have forgotten nothing. Like Ndawula Seguya who lost his brother and took up arms against Amin. Or Sanjiv Patel, a Ugandan of Indian origin, who had to flee the country when Amin decreed that Indians were stealing Ugandans’ jobs. We even met the dictator’s former personal photographer, Elly Rwakoma. He, too, had to flee - because of a photo that displeased Amin. Despot or hero, Amin remains very much present in the minds of Ugandans today.

    Who? Whites? Well Woken Nbless he did not murder Whites he murdered estimated 80,000 to 300,000 Ugandans which are Black Africans. He murdered Women, Children, Old, any and all UGUNDANS. He decimated the economy which was strong and prosperous when he came to power, however, he destroyed this leaving it 3rd world. Are you referring to the deaths of the innocents as the individuals that "Stood up" to him? Because Whites was not who he butchered. Furthermore, it took Israeli forces (not even a full battalion) less then 2hours to overtake and liberate their people....Now can you imagine what would have happened if he ticked of a Super power? Today Uganda is a 3rd world Economy dependent on Global charities for survival. It's natural wealth is more exploited and vulnerable then pre-colony days and why? Because this fat brutal dictator slithered from Uganda taking astronomical wealth which belonged to the nation and hid in Saudi Arabia under the protection of the house of Saudi. This is your hero? because my idea of a hero, leader, and individual who loves there people is none of the aforementioned. To rise above you must choose those with vision, character, courage, and knowledge of global diplomacy to act on behalf of their people. This animal was the UK henchman----he did terrible things to the people that UK soldiers would not....

He never butchered whites he butchered Black Ugandans. He never liberated Uganda from the "whites" the UK had already been moving out on their own slowly they gave Independence back. He never spent a dime on the infrastructure instead investing money for his own private profit, however, to stupid to even do that right. He BORROWED from China without knowledge their money had no economic value. Your hero reflects your conditions and this has nothing to do with "white man" but continued crutch excuses

    Idi Amin was set up. He had the interest of his people at heart, had zero tolerance for colonialism, and wanted to build a Uganda for Ugandans. However, the Muzungus needed him out of the way inorder to gain access to the country's natural resources. This image of him being a heartless dictator sounds similar to Gaddafi's story. The Muzungus wanted these 2 great leaders out of the picture inorder to take over their countries.

How many millions were killed during that time and who is responsible? Uganda's history is NOT defined by the 8years Amin was in power. The British killed millions of Ugandans during the 60years they lived here. we need a documentary on that, if not please take away your propaganda because every country has its own challenges but you never talk about the good things he build for Ugandans.

    Idi Amin had an eye on one of Indian businessman's daughter.( Brown girls are more feminine and sexier ).

This created a sense of insult of Idi Amin who as a revenge expelled Asians out of Uganda....

    A lot of people don’t understand why Amin turned tough after one year in office. Well, Amin suddenly realized that the wealth, economy and privilege of the country was in the camp of the Asian minority. Amin did not want to rule like puppet to this white and Asian community and wanted to elevate the long deprived Africans from top country participation. Amin did not want the kind of dominance on resources by ethnic minorities like it is in Zimbabwe, Namibia and Southern Africa.

A case of why are they so successful (by the way not all were rich or successful) I want it all but won't work for it so I will steal it from them and because Idi had the authority he did and messed up the economy. The Asians had to start from scratch with whatever they had.

    This is currently going on in the current regime. Even a lot worse. All the infrastructure, from the airport to main hospitals were put in place by Amin and Obote’s regimes at the time. Now all rundown to the point when power cuts happen. Some hospitals don’t have enough fuel for generators, backup generators don’t work and on many occasions some hospital lack medicine and equipment. The current leadership only has the following to show for: single lane roads and peace. The minimal basics in development and shit loads of corruption among the dictator’s family and friends.

    The reason why there was employment during the regime is because the population was way smaller but it doesn't indicate that the economy was healthy actually people were mostly working in the civil service and the private sector was almost non existent. I think it's very foolish to think that the economy in Amin's regime was better and a person who thinks like that is not analytical which makes him/her vulnerable to opposition's selfish agenda hence being used for that matter.
