Idi Amin |

| Idi Amin was the commander of Uganda’s armed forces when he overthrew the country’s civilian government in 1971. A brutal ruler, Amin directed his forces in a massive purge in which between 300,000 and 500,000 Ugandan citizens were killed. A Tanzanian invasion, supported by Ugandan rebels, forced Amin’s exile from the country in 1979. | ||||||
