In 1971, General Idi Amin deposed onetime political ally Prime Minister Milton Obote and declared himself the ruler of Uganda. Obote fled to the neighboring country of Tanzania. Amin purged the army of Obote’s followers and replaced them with soldiers loyal to him. Amin forced Uganda’s third-generation Indian and Pakistani populations out of the country and appropriated their money, businesses, and properties. Amin, a Muslim, directed his troops to kill rival tribe members and Obote’s predominantly Christian followers. The infrastructure of the country collapsed as Amin diverted money from government funds to build three armies, including his private band of mercenary guards. Amin survived multiple assassination attempts and repaid real or perceived treachery with savagery. When reports of Amin’s violent excesses were disseminated outside Africa, Great Britain, Israel, and other Western nations ended their support.
