I was a high school student n followed keenly the overthrow of Milton Obote by Idi Amin. During that era of the 70s through the late 80s Uganda under his eccentric rule used to be in the lime light. Hence my assessment of this documentary is that it is objectively authentic.

Real question: what is the prevalent feeling about decolonization in Uganda?
Kenyans were also not fans of Idi Amin because he also assassinated the Kenyan Minister of Agriculture at that time; Bruce Mackenzie. Kenya was also forced to host many of Uganda's Asians after they were expelled and his hostility to Kenyans in Uganda caused a lot of grief for people from Western Kenya, many of whom had family members in Uganda at the time.

Yes, your also over fantasizing the events. What I got from it is ultimately what he wanted, was power and control of the region to be in the hands of the indigenous ethnic groups of the region. Hence his expulsion of the largely Indian Asian population. And when he was met with resistance, well, he fired back with increasing vigor. The main cause of his failure was the fact that he couldn't maintain the economy that was set up by largely western influences, that the people had come to be dependent on, and so the economy went into a tailspin. Thats when things went downhill and increasing aggression surmounted.@@global001

Imagine those of uf who went through that ordeal !
I retired from a large West coast city not long ago, but one of the best things about the job was (some of) my coworkers, some of whom were from other nations all over the world. One guy named Mike, or as we came to call him Uganda Mike, was one of the more interesting people I worked with. He had spent a few years growing up there as his father was a civil servant in the Ugandan government during Idi Amin's despotic rule. Mike talked with the most quaint British accent and he told me several stories when I asked what it was like living there. Basically all I remember was that everyone he knew took great care to stay far, far away from any sort of political activity or even talk about it and to even mention the name of Idi Amin, was thought to bring much bad ju-ju and just an undesirable thing in general. If Amin liked you, he'd reward you lavishly. But Amin could turn against you at a moment's notice, and Uganda Mike said several of his friend's fathers simply disappeared with no explanation, never to be seen again!
Thanks for your work

Superb rendition. As to what we think of amin well he was a cannibal supported by the English.

Actually between amin and the British who was more brutal it is a difficult question to answer.

Tanzanian Army was far more disciplined and trained than their opponents (under his tyrannical reign) because illiterate and uneducated citizens were allowed in his supposed units.

I appreciate you not overlooking Obote’s crimes. I think it’s easy to look at someone as infamous as Amin and then see a less crazy leader like Obote and just see him as good in comparison.
Very educative
Idi Amin having a deluded view of ruling an independent Scotland. Strange, seems to remind me of someone.

The Legend, Idi Amin.

Excellent presentation
I suppose you can't really damn him for following Britain's "Here's how you take over someone else's country" example.
A few things that come to mind re this video: The idea that african colonies of european powers are artificial constructs with no tribal/ethnic considerations: well so were the european powers: only the fact that Great Britain is an island makes any political sense for a country to exist. Like France, Belgium, Germany and Italy, it started as a random group of different "tribes" who united in the 19yh century or earlier as one nation. Before europeans entered africa, the various tribes/ethnic groups present were engaged in attempted domination of each other, so nothing new there after colonisation; after all, slaves were available for sale from the 1st time european ships made landfall in certain african coasts, implying that enslavery of weaker tribes by stronger ones was an established way of life already in africa. Idi amin was never prosecuted for mass murder; well neither were Josef Stalin or Chairman Mao, to name but two. Idi Amin's government was initially supported by Britain and Israel, well US Government supported Saddam Hussein vs Iran and Afghani warlords vs USSR. It happens. Many times it goes pear-shaped, but, hindsight is always 20-20

Well written. Yes, the tribal locations should have been better analized when de-colonizing. If you observe a map of african devided along tribal lines it would be a very different africa, insted of 52 country there would be 1000. But the problem isn't tribal but the fact these countries are big and rich meaning absolute central power is very appetizing. Add that to a population without a tradition of politics and literacy and it's a recipe for disaster.

you know who else hasn't been charged for mass murder? Or even pointed out in the mainstream media for being a mass murderer? George W Bush Tony Blair Barack Obama Boris Johnson Macron and most of today's european "leaders" who facilitate small scale genocide in Africa and the middle east, and now even eastern europe No documentaries about these despots
Narration is superb
Worth watching .
Nigeria gained independence the year 1960. Just a quick correction please. Thanks
How he had that woman’s limbs cut off and sewn on backwards on her body. Plus ordering certain people’s heads to be smashed by sledge hammers. “Nice guy”.
I like how you used all of the stock photos and video footage.
I’m kind of surprised you guys haven’t covered Gaddafi yet.
It was a dark time for our nation indeed.However, I would have appreciated to see some of the positive achievements of his that shows evidently that he was a man that loved his country in a way that was overshadowed by the bloodshed. You have always done the same with other people in history who's gruesome acts were given a more colorful justification.

Nice documentary. Kakwa and Lugbara tribes although situated in the Northern part of Uganda (West Nile) are not of Nilotic ethnicity. They are considered of Sudanic ethnicity.
The bagandans!!! That gave me a giggle 😂✌. It's baganda. Great documentary. Lil bit of errors here and there but nothing too weird.

Great documentary .thank GOD FOR AMERICA.
And the Belgians still have rather a lot of explaining to do.
I Hope we’ll get to see more biographies on African leaders. They are not given the attention Africa deserves.
Nigerians independence was October 1st 1960 not 1961 as mentioned by the narrator. Please take note.
may he rest in eternal fire, torture and agony above human description, may his screams of pain become the winds that soar over Uganda...

Why you need a white man to tell African history. This is why we are all confused, we allow foreigners who aim is to undermine Africa achievement to tell our history. So sad we African don’t know who we are, we don’t know our history is within us, on us and on our land. With tears I pray for my continent and my people

@@margaretodoi3377 my sister you just said it ,we allows, African problem of electing bad leadership is we allow it. But still nevertheless white men or women have no right to tell us our history. I know more about Ghana, Nigeria and other African histories by talking to educated African historian and by investing my time in knowing about my continent. All the great achievements African have achieved have been undermined and is still being undermined by whites,/ pink people (they look pink to me than white and I am not being racist) we African must invest in ourselves instead waiting for pink people to come and help us. Africa being waiting for help from pink people for a very long time, but instead they create more problems for Africa to remain dependent on them. We need to wake up .

Great documentary. However, Nigeria's independent was on October 1,1960 not 1961.
Thank you so much for the thorough information you provided regarding what happened under his rule. I discovered from this fact that Amin engaged in political warfare throughout the entire world, not just against adversaries within his own nation.
