As a Ugandan born n bred in Uganda. I love how much Idi Amin's story sells our country but also a reminder that no matter what you do, there's going to judgement, an unexpected end n lessons. Sad thing is that, even the current leaders haven't learned a thing from this very dark history
Idi Amin was a was wise leader because he saw the evil of the west and wanted to get rid of the evil along with those puppets that were so foolish to think the west loves Africa.
@@kumbiektw however bad western influences are, is another issue from what constitutes a good African leader. (western money enabled idi amin to retire and live to the ripe old age of 78 in Saudi Arabia). Bet he had african contract workers the whole 24 year of retirement.

It is a lesson that dictators fear their people more than anything, but people rarely realize it until sometime, Zimbabweans are yet to realize it, so are Ugandans, people of Cameroon and other African countries.
A typical day in the life of a dictator is filled with power, control, and manipulation. Here is a glimpse into what a day might look like for a dictator: - The dictator wakes up early in the morning to the sound of his personal bodyguards outside his bedroom door. He is immediately briefed on any important news or developments that have occurred overnight. - The dictator begins his day with a breakfast meeting with his closest advisors and inner circle. They discuss the day's agenda, any potential threats or challenges, and devise strategies to maintain control over the population. - The dictator then attends a series of meetings with government officials, military leaders, and representatives from other countries. He uses these meetings to assert his authority, issue directives, and intimidate those who may oppose him. - Throughout the day, the dictator makes public appearances at rallies, speeches, or events designed to showcase his power and popularity. He uses these opportunities to spread propaganda, glorify himself, and instill fear in his enemies. - In the afternoon, the dictator typically takes a break from his official duties to indulge in his own personal pleasures. This may involve playing golf, watching movies, or spending time with his family in his lavish palace. - As the day comes to a close, the dictator consults with his security team to ensure that all potential threats to his safety have been neutralized. He then retires to his bedroom, surrounded by his loyal bodyguards, knowing that he has once again maintained his grip on power and control over his people. Overall, a day in the life of a dictator is characterized by a relentless pursuit of power, a constant need for control, and an insatiable desire for adulation and admiration. However, beneath the facade of strength and invincibility lies a deep-seated fear of losing everything they have worked so hard to achieve.
The Ugandans I know would be very surprised to learn that ‘Uganda today is no longer a dictatorship’. But this was very well done. I had never even heard about the attempted coup by Arube and Amins fellow tribesmen so thank you for this creative and informative video. And I must say all of his children seem like very decent and kind people. It’s too bad none have written memoirs.
@@samadams-sh6fs That's what every Ugandan I know says. A couple even claim he's worse than Amin. I never lived under the rule of either man, but it seems like the anarchy of the Amin years would be more intolerable than Musevenis rigid and tightly organized dictatorship. Under Amin it seems like people would leave the house and give themselves a 50-50 chance of coming home alive. Maybe that's an exaggeration. Ugamdans may also unfavorably compare Museveni with Amin because Museveni should know better.
@@Mbabazipatrick-i3i So did Obote. Every Ugandan I’ve spoken to said the same thing - the second Presidency of Obote was far far worse than Amin. He had given up on his 1960s socialism and his whole regime was focused on terrorizing and killing ethnic groups he saw as enemies. Why Nyerere was so determined to return him to power I cannot understand. One woman - who was actually going back to Kampala for a three month visit - told me Uganda had recently held an election, or perhaps I should say ‘election’. Museveni had lost and when people came out to protest his police or soldiers responded with live ammunition. When there was a large student protest against Amin, even he did not react so murderously. He allowed the protest to occur and then that night his soldiers attacked the university, beating and raping. Yes, that’s awful but it still doesn’t compare to firing machine guns into an unarmed crowd. Since so many of Amins family still live in Uganda and seem to be decent and respectable citizens, I don’t think it’s right that Museveni wouldn’t even allow him to be buried at home. Obote is buried in Uganda I believe so why not Amin ? Who is he going to hurt now ?
I was on a plane out of Nairobi E. Africa headed for England and the plane was almost empty so I was stretched out comfortably across the empty seats when the pilot came on the speaker saying we were going to land in Uganda to pick up refugees. It seems Idi Amin was kicking out all the East Indians in the country because they controlled too much of the businesses. We landed and the plane got totally packed with even kids sitting in the parents laps and the luggage areas were loaded with all the refugees could get out. I have flown a lot but never was in a takeoff that was horizontal and it was night and pitch black. I thought we were going to hit buildings but the airport was next to a lake so we made a slow climb. I felt sorry for the refugees who lost everything and I never want to experience a takeoff like that again.
Now Uganda has some one much much worse than Amin...museveni is much worse than Amin...kidnaps,torture,forced disappearances, corruption, institutional failure etc
Amin kicked out the major business leaders when he exiled the Asians. He was a brutal and ignorant man who had a legacy of mass murder. Instead of making the country thrive he filled its rivers with corpses.

Uganda has slipped back into dictatorship; the current ruler Yoweri Museveni has perfected Idi Amin's brutal methods and uses mostly poison to get rid of prominent political opponents. The less prominent ones are simply abducted from their homes or workplaces, tortured, and killed. While Idi Amin was demonized by the West because he worked against their interests in the country, Yoweri Museveni enjoys tremendous support from the West because he protects their interests and he can therefore rule and fleece Uganda with impunity!

I happen to know the man who served as then-Corporal Idi Amin's commanding officer in the King's African Rifles. Apparently, his early reputation was as a gentle giant with a snarky wit. My friend left the unit around the time Amin was recommended for officer. As the biographies state, he quickly gained a reputation for brutality after his commission. Perhaps another illustration of what even a little power awakens in certain kinds of people.

The documentary is done nicely! Waiting to see one on “one day of a British queen of colonial era (you choose) ”. Don’t forget to describe how much she was looting, taking slaves, killing people or exploiting poor countries or destroying cultures and traditions.
excellent point..I detest Idi Amin and other murderous leaders of the past. But it's true that Western media hardly produce such reports about their criminal leaders, apart from Hitler and Mussolini.
Imperialism has been the history of mankind, including pre-colonial Africa. British imperialism was, by far, the most benign and constructive the world has ever seen. Britain quickly ended slavery and nearly bankrupted itself in doing so. Britain has given the world so much, from science and technology to the arts and literature. If you can't see that, then you are just simply ignorant.
@@deborahblack2585lesser of the evil does not mean it’s still not evil. They were looking out for their interests all the time. Looted and bankrupted countries and destroyed traditions all in the name of god.
@@lilyumwiza715 Amin could be very charming, graceful and polite when he wanted to, that was also a part of his personality, but of course they could've made a 3 hour movie about him being only an absolute tyrant torturing people nonstop throughout the movie but who would want to watch that? I would definitely not. The movie and Forests (and young Dr. Nicolas) performance was perfect imo.
@FREEDOMVOICE888 certainly wasn’t making excuses for him. Just went back to his roots to see where the problem started. Of course as you mentioned, other things contributed to this mess.

@@MongolEmpire77 yeah because cheating is a crime -_-. It is morally wrong (in my eyes) but in nowhere it is a crime. Disgusting that you think that cheaters should be butchered.
Idi Amin was known to hate several groups of people, including: 1. Ugandan Asians: Amin expelled the entire Ugandan Asian community in 1972, giving them only 90 days to leave the country. This resulted in the forced expulsion of approximately 80,000 Asians, many of whom were British passport holders. 2. Political opponents: Amin was known for brutally suppressing any opposition to his regime, often using violence and intimidation to stay in power. 3. Ethnic minorities: Amin targeted certain ethnic groups within Uganda, such as the Acholi and Lango people, whom he viewed as potential threats to his rule. Thousands of people from these groups were killed during his time in power. 4. LGBT individuals: Amin’s regime carried out persecution and violence against LGBT individuals in Uganda, including harassment, imprisonment, and even executions. Overall, Idi Amin's rule was characterized by violence, repression, and discrimination against various groups of people in Uganda.
Idi Amin's rise to power as a dictator in Uganda was largely a result of his own actions and decisions, as well as the political and social conditions in the country at the time. Amin, a military officer who came to power in a coup in 1971, quickly consolidated his control over the government and established a brutal regime characterized by repression, human rights abuses, and widespread corruption. While there were external factors that may have contributed to Amin's actions, such as pressure from Western powers and Cold War politics, ultimately it was his own ambition and thirst for power that led him to become a dictator.
I remember when I was little after his reign and heard this stories. I was terrified I thought he was standing out side listening and ready to kill us.
As far as the fates of dictators go (especially such brutal ones), Amin got off pretty easy. Living as a free man, dying a natural death... Usually what goes around comes around.
@@thememe986 He is far worse than Idi Amin. It is just that you do not hear the West cry about him due to him literally being a slave of the Westerners.
It is difficult to attribute one single factor to why Idi Amin turned into a bad man. However, it is believed that his actions were influenced by power struggles, authoritarianism, and a desire to maintain control over Uganda. As for his childhood, Idi Amin reportedly had a difficult upbringing. He was born in rural Uganda to a poor family and was abandoned by his father at a young age. He was later raised by his mother and stepfather, who were strict disciplinarians. Amin also claimed to have been physically abused by a British colonial officer during his time as a soldier in the King's African Rifles. These experiences may have contributed to his later behavior and actions as a dictator.
Idi Amin was known for his extreme hatred towards certain groups of people, particularly individuals of Asian descent and those from the region of Uganda known as Buganda. He also targeted political opponents, intellectuals, and anyone he suspected of disloyalty to his regime. However, his actions and policies of violence and discrimination were widely condemned by the international community.
My Grandfather immigrated to uganda and had 5 children (one being my father). They where very successful entrepreneur and helped build roads and had stores. Unfortunately my grandfather passed right before Idi Amin ordered explusion of Asians from Uganda. I hate that this happened to my family at such a devasting time!
@@Jennyxx-ie5jw they do this everywhere, but that's only bc the best and brightest from India will leave and dominate. The remaining trash will stay in India
Ah yes... I remember my mom told me all about Idi Amin when she used to live in uganda as a kid in the 1970s or 1980s but the war there ended at the 1980s.

All the current dictators must be introduced to a physician to be checked for their mental status. I think they are not mentally well as their actions indicate.

Book tip: Waiting For The Wild Beasts To Vote by Ahmadou Kourouma. Gives great insight in African societies and after reading one will understand the origina of the problems the guys down there are facing. His other books are great too.
He was terrified of what he did somehow coming back to him having nightmares about being killed it just shows deep down he knew he was wrong and would surely pay for what he had done... he lost power and had to hide out for the rest of his life .
One of my favourite 'news' items from The Two Ronnies: "Idi Amin arrived in Germany. He was hungry so he ate two hamburgers, three Frankfurters and one large woman from Berlin".

@@amamansaafriyie yes they were children when all this happened, they may not fully understnad what their father was doing then, but as u can see they are no longer children, they are now adult who must have heard, read about the evils of their father hence they were not interviewd when they were kids but now that they are adults and wiser they sholud be able to discern between good and evil, but there is still no sign of remorse from his speech, instead he still see his father an a hero.
But we ugandans are proud of Amin still
@@amamansaafriyie not every child looks up to their father with admiration. every child deserves a father than can admire but that isn't always the case, unfortunately.
The editing and special effects used to create this is simply amazing

Such documentaries should be made even. On European favoured dictators eg Mobutu and Leopold
When you live a wicked life, you'll never have the peace you THOUGHT you were entitled to. All that blood on his hands, the body dies but their tourtured spirit lives on.
Knock knock Idi. Remember us? We definitely remember you.
Dude is dead, ain't worried bout shit.
This is true.
perfectly written
Maybe if the Indians weren’t so racially cruel to the natives. This wouldn’t have happen. Them pajeets gots what was coming for them.
Horrifying in scope.....what those poor, precious people endured under this cruel, sadistic, evil dictator!😢
I happen to know the man who served as then-Corporal Idi Amin's commanding officer in the King's African Rifles. Apparently, his early reputation was as a gentle giant with a snarky wit. My friend left the unit around the time Amin was recommended for officer. As the biographies state, he quickly gained a reputation for brutality after his commission. Perhaps another illustration of what even a little power awakens in certain kinds of people.
Power doesn't corrupt it reveals
@@gmelniagara5808 wow. That’s true
@@gmelniagara5808 I believe power manifests too... if you have power but friends, family, and others around you who challenge your ego and you respond with understanding you will do great. Some of these guys who have only Yes Men around them for years don't know how to be challenged end up as a piece of shit... (Small town politicians, Cops, the big wigs at the big factory in a small town) I would say Washington Politians, but those people are playing a different game then the rest of us... they are all in bed together... The biggest Republican in Washington is still a bigger Biden and Kamala supporter than they'll ever be of a tax paying Citizen
The culture of brutality instilled during colonial times probably contributed too
@@Makarosc Because there was never any brutality before Colonialism...
The documentary is done nicely! Waiting to see one on “one day of a British queen of colonial era (you choose) ”. Don’t forget to describe how much she was looting, taking slaves, killing people or exploiting poor countries or destroying cultures and traditions.
excellent point..I detest Idi Amin and other murderous leaders of the past. But it's true that Western media hardly produce such reports about their criminal leaders, apart from Hitler and Mussolini.
Oh, no! Just like all other races of the world since the beginning of time. Do you love white people?
Imperialism has been the history of mankind, including pre-colonial Africa. British imperialism was, by far, the most benign and constructive the world has ever seen. Britain quickly ended slavery and nearly bankrupted itself in doing so. Britain has given the world so much, from science and technology to the arts and literature. If you can't see that, then you are just simply ignorant.
@@deborahblack2585 Was that what your teachers said to you? 😢 Incredible! 😂

Uganda has gone through times but Amin's time was the worst, i witnessed everything during his reign.
so sorry you had to witness that
Please tell us as gen z we only heard him in history at school.but i fear him.
Watching this I can't stop thinking about Forest Whitaker, he sure nailed that role.
The more stories about him the more I think that Whitaker was just a polite and graceful version of Amin!!!
@@lilyumwiza715 Amin could be very charming, graceful and polite when he wanted to, that was also a part of his personality, but of course they could've made a 3 hour movie about him being only an absolute tyrant torturing people nonstop throughout the movie but who would want to watch that? I would definitely not. The movie and Forests (and young Dr. Nicolas) performance was perfect imo.

He really did nail that role. I was so upset watching it.

@@obamagaming-zv4vyare you one or know any

The documentary was so on point, exemplifying the story to a more realistic effect
His mother's witchcraft and the humiliation he suffered as a young child contributed to the emergence of this monster.
@FREEDOMVOICE888 certainly wasn’t making excuses for him. Just went back to his roots to see where the problem started. Of course as you mentioned, other things contributed to this mess.
@freedomvoice8883civilized colonial rule? There was no difference between Amin dada and the colonialists
@freedomvoice8883colonialism is not civilised Also evil is not born it's made so your completely wrong

his dad was pretty hard tbh

Idi Amin was known to hate several groups of people, including:
1. Ugandan Asians: Amin expelled the entire Ugandan Asian community in 1972, giving them only 90 days to leave the country. This resulted in the forced expulsion of approximately 80,000 Asians, many of whom were British passport holders.
2. Political opponents: Amin was known for brutally suppressing any opposition to his regime, often using violence and intimidation to stay in power.
3. Ethnic minorities: Amin targeted certain ethnic groups within Uganda, such as the Acholi and Lango people, whom he viewed as potential threats to his rule. Thousands of people from these groups were killed during his time in power.
4. LGBT individuals: Amin’s regime carried out persecution and violence against LGBT individuals in Uganda, including harassment, imprisonment, and even executions.
Overall, Idi Amin's rule was characterized by violence, repression, and discrimination against various groups of people in Uganda.
"Uganda's government is no longer a dictatorship" Well that is a colossal lie
But Uganda is thriving
@@ReaganKukundakwe Is it really though?
@@ReaganKukundakwe Uganda has barely changed since Iddi Amin
Amazing documentary on UA-cam I have ever seen.its amazing
So Sad for all who died at the hands of this Madman.
He wasn't a madman; Charles Manson was a madman. Idi Amin was a monster in human disguise just like Papa Doc and the Shah of Iran and today, Putin.
No innocent soul was killed kindly stop this on our president
White people did more harm to us..colonisation and apartheid made him like this.
A real mad man
Many in Uganda today feel sad he didn't finish the job!!
I remember my Dad telling me about him as a kid in the 70s
What about him?
Wow how old are u now sir?its been honor to meet a senior citizen..GoedenDag
Lovely memories.
Idi Amin's rise to power as a dictator in Uganda was largely a result of his own actions and decisions, as well as the political and social conditions in the country at the time. Amin, a military officer who came to power in a coup in 1971, quickly consolidated his control over the government and established a brutal regime characterized by repression, human rights abuses, and widespread corruption. While there were external factors that may have contributed to Amin's actions, such as pressure from Western powers and Cold War politics, ultimately it was his own ambition and thirst for power that led him to become a dictator.
Rest easy KING WE LONG LIVE YOU !!!!
I remember when I was little after his reign and heard this stories. I was terrified I thought he was standing out side listening and ready to kill us.
!! The audacity of these dictators is breath taking. They are all sociopaths who lack the tiniest empathy for their victims.
First time I've seen someone put a quote in brackets, lmao
@@pro-socialsociopath769 He has no remorse, only nostalgia!
As far as the fates of dictators go (especially such brutal ones), Amin got off pretty easy. Living as a free man, dying a natural death... Usually what goes around comes around.
What the hell is with all the blurred censoring?Very distracting.
No one should have Seen his big belly!

I hear the new president is Just as bad if not worse

@@thememe986 He is far worse than Idi Amin. It is just that you do not hear the West cry about him due to him literally being a slave of the Westerners.
"No remorse only nostalgia " wow
😂😪
It is difficult to attribute one single factor to why Idi Amin turned into a bad man. However, it is believed that his actions were influenced by power struggles, authoritarianism, and a desire to maintain control over Uganda.
As for his childhood, Idi Amin reportedly had a difficult upbringing. He was born in rural Uganda to a poor family and was abandoned by his father at a young age. He was later raised by his mother and stepfather, who were strict disciplinarians. Amin also claimed to have been physically abused by a British colonial officer during his time as a soldier in the King's African Rifles. These experiences may have contributed to his later behavior and actions as a dictator.
When are we going to see a documentary about king Leopold and everything that he did to the Congolese???????
There are already many documentaries about him, like King Leopold’s Ghost
"Evil has no boundaries"
Being evil is like living on the cheap. The devil is always on your shoulder....That character will never let one sleep the sleep of a baby.
Idi Amin was known for his extreme hatred towards certain groups of people, particularly individuals of Asian descent and those from the region of Uganda known as Buganda. He also targeted political opponents, intellectuals, and anyone he suspected of disloyalty to his regime. However, his actions and policies of violence and discrimination were widely condemned by the international community.
The hilarious part is the self declared king of fishes of the ocean which makes him Aquaman 😂
😅😂😂😂

Amin is a cannibal he was eatin ' human
Seems even now he was siding with his dad... sad
But you believe this guy telling this story?

My Grandfather immigrated to uganda and had 5 children (one being my father). They where very successful entrepreneur and helped build roads and had stores. Unfortunately my grandfather passed right before Idi Amin ordered explusion of Asians from Uganda. I hate that this happened to my family at such a devasting time!

Ah yes... I remember my mom told me all about Idi Amin when she used to live in uganda as a kid in the 1970s or 1980s but the war there ended at the 1980s.
“… 1970s or 1980s …” which is it? Oh right … you’re likely making this up
I’m not making this up
My mom was alive when this happened
Can’t live that kind of life,,but there’s always blood shed behind power and leadership
It's not too hard to imagine that the entire world worked like this for centuries until somehow we became civilised

Time stamp 19:43 to 19:51 is one (and I know there are horror's in this presentation) of the saddest things a human with even the smallest amount of empathy can witness. Pure fear & pure evil being perpetrated by the tyrants with power held over him. I hope he lived.

Let's hope so but I doubt he lived longer than a few more minutes.
that footage is actually from when the Tanzanians ousted idi in 1979, man being berated by soldiers is one of amins men (wearing Czech made camo) while the troops surrounding him are Tanzanians (wearing British DPM pattern uniforms and carrying chinese Type 56 AK-47s)
you can find a lot of it on you tube actually, including rare footage of Tanzanian Type 62 Light tanks from china being used (one of the few times they were actually a SUCCESSFUL tank and not a death trap for their crews, but considering Idi amins army only had thin skin APCs and WW2 sherman tanks its not really a fair fight haha)
EDIT: actually a LOT of the footage in this doc are from 1979, at 20:53 you see a Type 62 in the background while a Tanzanian wearing an american M1 helmet and carrying a Type 56 is waving them along
Yet they blame the "colonists" . Sorry this is pure evil, never heard of any western leader forcing doctors to sew up decapitations on dead bodies to torture the victims small children. Pure evil. If he was my father, I would hide far away from the media. He is Satan's son

Such a great narrating voice.
Book tip: Waiting For The Wild Beasts To Vote by Ahmadou Kourouma. Gives great insight in African societies and after reading one will understand the origina of the problems the guys down there are facing. His other books are great too.
He cut off their own junk and choked them with it!! Holy shit man that’s some next level murder
I want guys junk on my mouth
He was terrified of what he did somehow coming back to him having nightmares about being killed it just shows deep down he knew he was wrong and would surely pay for what he had done... he lost power and had to hide out for the rest of his life
.
When he is given his record, he will say: How i wish death was the end
I need the uncensored version of this documentary please
Its unbelievable how much corruption affected and still does affect Africa.
One of my favourite 'news' items from The Two Ronnies:
"Idi Amin arrived in Germany. He was hungry so he ate two hamburgers, three Frankfurters and one large woman from Berlin".
What do you mean😂😂😂😂
