Idi Amin Dada is the most famous 20th century dictator. His savage track record during his 3rd President of Uganda is remembered worldwide. Citing the testimony of historians, Amin once led the worst regime in Africa as Pol Pot once led Cambodia.
Some observers called him "Adolf Hitler from Africa." Idi Amin Dada was as cruel as Hitler in Germany: once the power was successfully grasped, one of its major programs was genocide aka the genocide of the ethnic group that was considered the culprit of the country's chaos.
Amin seized Uganda's number one seat with a military coup d'etat that ousted President Militon Oboye on January 25, 1971, just 47 today. When Amin launches a coup, Oboye is in Singapore to attend a meeting of British Commonwealth countries.
In addition to top political leadership, Amin also declared itself as Commander of the Armed Forces, Army Chief of Staff and Chief of Staff of the Ugandan Air Force. Military law he puts on civil law. Officers under him he appointed to fill the position of the governor and other important positions.
