I was friends with a girl at school whose family escaped his murderous regime, he put out a warrant for her father's arrest & execution, because he was a professor of biology at the University in Kampala, luckily he had friends & family who managed to protect & save him & his family, they managed to come to Australia as refugees...

Idi Amin played main role in the Air France plane hijacking in 1976, during the flight from Paris to Tel Aviv. The Israeli army, in one of the most heroic operation, succeeded to rescue all the kidnappers from Uganda, thousands kilometres from Israel.

Forrest Whitaker starred in the biopic about him. He was so good in that role.

I was in my early twenties and lived in Tanga when he declared war against Tanzania. But with the President Nyerere of Tanzania managed a victory against Idi Amin and Amin escaped to Libya & it's leader was Gaddafi by then.

Davy, Livingston, This was because Idi Amin had a long & deep fascination with Scotland, I suspect no one really knows the answer why..

I believe he once offered to add Princess Anne to his harem. She was supposed to be honoured and grateful!

Purple Kitty, that is the problem when the west don't like a leader. They will paint him in most unthinkable names you would ever imagine. Idi Amin like every leader including in the west have many flaws but western media exaggerated his crime. They made a movie of him in the 80s and protrayed him as cannibal which is a blatant lie.
