Idi Amin Sunday.

I love this picture, it reminds me of those blaxploitation films of the 70's. Action Amin in 'I'll busta cap in yo ass'.
Join the Old Knudsen what is he thinking about competition "I ordered a triple thick shake, what the fuck is this?"

Idi Amin Dada (c. 1924–16 August2003) The president of Uganda along with him and the Planet of the Apes movies Old Knudsen has a fear of Large primates.
He persecuted other Africans,Indians,Jews,Hindus and Christians, the death toll during his reign was not less than 80,000 and as much as 500,000 as compiled by Amnesty International though they are not to be trusted.
It is said that he gave himself the title "His Excellency president for life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in particular

In 1946 he joined the Kings African Rifles (KAR) as part of the colonial army and worked bravely in the laundry and kitchen. In 1947 he transferred to Kenya as an infantry man and claims to have served in the Burma campaign during WWII but I never saw him there and records show he joined up after the war was over.
In 1954 Amin was made a Warrant officer which was the highest rank a black African could get to in the British Colonial Army. He earned the nickname Dada while serving in Kenya, everytime he was caught with a woman in his tent he claimed she was his dada which is Swahili for sister and got away with it, just to clear this up further, only sex with yer sister or young boys is only allowed in the British army, everything else is just not cricket old chap.
During this time Amin exercised and became Uganda's light heavyweight boxing champ 1951 to 1960.
After getting independence in 1962 Milton Obote Uganda's first PM promoted Amin to captain and then deputy commander of the army in 1964.

On hearing that Obote was going to arrest him for mismanagement of army funds Amin seized power in a coup in 1971 when Obote was at a Commonwealth meeting in Singapore.
Amin was welcomed by Uganda and the international community, the British Foreign Office described him as "A splendid type and a good football player", hey the Americans liked and supported Mussolini right up to the time he joined with Hitler, both splendid types.

1972 Amin told the 50,000 Asians that lived in Uganda they had 90 days to get out, he said God told him to expel them in a dream, I wouldn't be surprised, God can be a right cunt sometimes, he drinks a lot. Most Asians got asylum in the UK. During the 90 days Ugandan soldiers engaged in theft and violence against the Asians.Amin severed diplomatic relations with Israel as he was heavily connected to the PLO and also got support from Libya and the Soviet Union.
In 1973 the US closed it's embassy in Kampala and in 1976 the UK closed it's High Commission in Uganda..
As the years went on, Amin became increasingly erratic and outspoken. He had his tunics specially lengthened so that he could wear many WWII medals, including the Military Cross and Victoria Cross. He granted himself a number of titles, including 'King of Scotland' and 'Lord shake 'n' Vac of the Glade'.

War hero and alround nice guy he was neither, if you had a head and he had a shovel it might not end well.

In 1978 Amin with his troops at the brink of mutiny he invaded Tanzania, the President of Tanzania Julius Nyerere said 'fuck you' and declared war on Uganda and attacked using a large amount of Ugandan exiles.
In 1979 Amin bravely ran away and got asylum in that nice ally of ours Saudi Arabia.The new Ugandan government chose to keep him exiled as they didn't want him to face war crimes if he returned, the Saudi's gave him a good life as they wanted to silence him as he was doing harm to Islam.
Idi Amin died in 2003 and was buried in Jeddah where he lived his last 20 odd years.
David Owen who was the Foreign Secretary 1977-1979 suggested that Amin be assassinated but the idea was promptly rejected Britain's Prime Minister, James Callaghan, being a fucking liberal and nicknamed Sunny Jim and all. Owen said "Amin's regime was the worst of all . Its a shame that we allowed him to keep power for so long"
