Idi Amin came to power in Uganda through a military coup on January 25, 1971, when President Milton Obote was attending a Commonwealth Conference in Singapore. Subsequently, Tanzania offered asylum to Obote and to many Ugandans opposed to Amin’s iron, erratic, and notoriously cruel rule in Uganda. Amin’s activities included assassination, murder, and detention of political opponents, the expulsion of Asians, the harassment of foreign nationals, and disrespect for the tripartite regional agreements worked out among Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya, known as the East African Community. It is reported that, by 1977, Amin’s regime had killed 300,000 people. Internationally, Amin’s wrath was aimed mainly at President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, whom he accused of plotting to overthrow his government. On his part, Nyerere had nothing but utter contempt for Amin, whom he called a murderer and an ignorant racist.
