That is Idi Ami...he famously described himself as: "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hajj Idi Amin Dada, The Great Kabaka, Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in general and Uganda in particular".

Op, you should have made more research to give details about the event. Thanks for sharing anyway.



SOME DETAILS (Not sure if it represents the pix)

Denis Hills, a British writer, lecturer and adventurer once sentenced to death by Idi Amin for describing the Ugandan dictator as a "black Nero" and "village tyrant," has died. He was 90.

Hills died April 26 in Richmond, England, of natural causes.

He was teaching at Makerere University in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, when Amin seized power in 1971. Appalled by Amin's butchery, Hills made the remarks in the manuscript of his 1975 book "The White Pumpkin." Outraged, Amin arrested Hills, tried him for espionage and sedition and condemned him to death.

Amin used Hills' imprisonment to make Britain "kneel at his feet." Two British envoys who brought an appeal from Queen Elizabeth II to spare Hills' life were forced to crawl on their knees through a low entrance to a hut where Amin received them. The day before Hills was to be shot, Amin freed him in exchange for an apology and retraction of the remarks.

For those Europeans to kneel down before a black man, Idi Amin must be a powerful man.

for anyone who cares to know more about Idi Amin, Google is your friend, this link will tell you more;

Idi Amin Dada (/ˈiːdi ɑːˈmiːn/; c. 1923–28 – 16 August 2003) was the third President of Uganda, ruling from 1971 to 1979. Amin joined the British colonial regiment, the King's African Rifles, in 1946, serving in Kenya and Uganda. Eventually, Amin held the rank of major general in the post-colonial Ugandan Army, and became its commander before seizing power in the military coup of January 1971, deposing Milton Obote. He later promoted himself to field marshal while he was the head of state.

Amin's rule was characterized by human rights abuses, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. The number of people killed as a result of his regime is estimated by international observers and human rights groups to range from 100,000 to 500,000...
