57 min | Documentary, Adventure, Biography
Uganda's Idi Amin and Tanzania's Julius Nyerere were bitter enemies who went to war in 1978. Today, the dictator Amin is reviled as the 'Butcher of Uganda', while the socialist Nyerere is revered as the 'Founding Father of Tanzania.' Nyerere's army forced Amin and his family into exile in 1979, ending Idi Amin's blood soaked regime. In SONS OF AFRICA, the two leaders' sons attempt to climb Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, on a journey of peace and reconciliation.

Historical Dictionary of Civil Wars in Africa (Historical Dictionaries of War, Revolution, and Civil Unrest) by Arnold Guy, Guy Arnold
[img]http://pxhst.co/avaxhome/0f/05/000b050f.jpeg[/img]
Ever since the end of World War II, and even more so since 1960, when seventeen African colonies became independent of colonial rule, the African continent has been ravaged by a series of wars. These wars have ranged from liberation struggles against former colonial powers to power struggles between different factions in the aftermath of independence. They have ranged from border wars between newly independent states to civil wars between ethnic groups. As with many conflicts, outside forces were drawn into these wars, and major powers outside the continent intervened on one side or the other for a variety of reasons: political ideology, Cold War considerations, ethnic alignments, and stemming the flow of violence.

Whether referring to Algeria's struggle for independence from French colonial rule, Nigeria's internal struggles to achieve a balanced state after the British departure, the Rwandan genocide of 1994, or the current ethnic cleansing in Darfur, the second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Civil Wars in Africa covers all of the wars that have occurred in Africa since independence. This is done through a chronology broken down by country, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and cross-referenced dictionary entries covering the wars, conflicts, major political and military figures, child soldiers, mercenaries, and blood diamonds

Where the Air Is Sweet by Tasneem Jamal

An epic family saga that charts three generations of an Indian family in Uganda

In 1972, dictator Idi Amin expelled 80,000 South Asians from Uganda. Though many had lived in East Africa for generations, they were forced to flee in ninety days as their country descended into a surreal vortex of chaos and murder.

Spanning the years between 1921 and 1975, Where the Air Is Sweet tells the story of Raju, a young Indian man drawn to Africa by the human impulse to seek a better life, and three generations of his family, who carve a life for themselves in a racially stratified colonial and post-colonial society. Where the Air Is Sweet is the story of a family: their loves, their griefs and, finally, their sudden expulsion at the hands of one of the world's most terrifying tyrants.

MrPresident1:
Recently, I have been watching some videos of General Idi Amin of Uganda, and I have come to realise, that much of what has been projected by the mainstream, against this great man of Africa, is pure lies.

General Amin remains one of the greatest leaders Africa has ever produced. This man saw into the future, he read it well and showed us what to do.

Our people must learn, we must free ourselves from mental slavery.


RIP, General Idi Amin Dada of Uganda.
President Idi Amin was a great man just like Comrade Ahmed Sekou Toure of Guinea, Brother Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and CIC ( Commander in Chief) Samuel K Doe of Liberia.

you are right brother he was one of the few African leaders feared by the western and eastern nations for not showing any sign of weakness to them, he is the conqueror of the British empire in Africa, a self acclaimed title.

Idi Amin, One of Africa's worst rulers.

I'm sure you've heard of his many atrocities. Whether or not you believe them, just know that Idi Amin did more than what you'd consider human error.

Not everything is western propaganda against black people. What is bad is bad.
Re: General Idi Amin Of Uganda by MrPresident1: 2:58pm On Sep 16, 2019
Even in death, you animals will not allow him to rest.

Amin is one of the greatest leaders to come out of Africa. When the time comes, he will take his rightful place in history and in the minds of the people. Until then, you wild things can continue to run riot and roam wild everywhere.

They demonized him, misinformed Africans,they even made horrible movies slandering him, just like they did Great people like Kwameh Nkrumah, Nasser etc.
The horrible part is decades after more than 90 percent of Nigerians still believed that Idi Amin Dada is a cannibal, a slowpoke, a psychopathic Killer and all that they alleged him to be.
you are very correct bro, I was brought up to believe Idi Amin is a cannibal, we were told then by our elders that he would summon any one he feels might query his leadership or his enemies to his palace he will kill them and then proceed to eat them, I was even told he had a special freezer where he keeps his favourite part of the human body, I believed all these until I saw his son’s interviews and I was compelled to read about his life and how he rose to the rank of the first citizen of Uganda then, I hated the historian that fed up with false news the moment I finished reading the article!

very true, when I was young I also watched a movie about Idi Amin, there was a scene where he was eating human flesh but I never believed that, his second in command in that movie was a man called "Isaac Maliyamungu" which we fondly call "Mallam Mugu"
