Idi Amin - The Dictator who ATE his enemies
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 05. 2023
- Known as ‘Big Daddy’ by his supporters and ‘The Butcher’ by his critics, Idi Amin went from being a dirt-poor illiterate boy from a town in north-west Uganda so remote nobody knows its name, to becoming the third president of Uganda, a speaker on the global political stage. He was infamous for his ruthless stomping down of perceived traitors, expulsions of non-Africans, his widespread terror, and his taking joy in humiliation.

"There is freedom of speech, but i cannot guarantee freedom after speech"
-Idi Amin Dada
the African equivalent of when Twitter liberals say "freedom of speech not freedom of consequences"
Sounds pretty cold and badass, but terrible really.
Sound like “you have freedom of speech but not freedom from consequences of such speech”
lol
Idi Amin: What’s my name?
Girl: Ugh, fine! It’s Big Daddy!
Idi Amin: My name Idi…

*The Last King of Scotland* ACTUALLY
Gotta love the title and honours he gave himself:
“His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hajj Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.”
I was looking for this
He wilding
Last king of Scotland also
I wish he didn't had to kill people. He easily could have bond the world together with his humour. What a waste to be a villain. Glad he died.
@@LOVEBABY138 Even if he hadn’t been a “villain”, don’t forget he had the maturity and incoherence of a child.
One important thing that was left out, was that Idi Amin personally killed & tortured hundreds, if not thousands, of people with his own hands. This is unique and almost never seen amongst dictators throughout history. Usually they like to order others to commit atrocities on their behalf, but not carry it out themselves. He was a psychopath who derived pleasure from killing human beings.
Ugandan here. People say he was painted as such by his foes but it's lies. This man was deranged and was a blueprint of evil. When his residences were overran by liberating Tanzanian and Ugandan exile troops, they found hundreds of photographs of tortured people which he used to instruct to be presented to him which he'd go over with relish. As head of state, he wasn't just someone who was satisfied with eliminating his opponents but someone who with glee personally took part in some of it and went ahead to keep photos as momentos to go over later. While serving in the British King's African Rifles and the newly independent Uganda army, the severity he depicted when handling tasks such personally coming up with torture techniques or carrying out assignments with unnecessarily extreme force that it even irked his superiors in those instances.
He had our country by heart just he was never liked by the whites all these are false information is from indians because he said Uganda for Ugandans not for Asians
@@kibuukamusaahmed6758 So you deny that he killed or ordered the killing of people?
@@kibuukamusaahmed6758
Political figures preach water and take wine. And 2 facts can coexist.
1. Yes he had many speeches about Uganda for Ugandans and putting the nation first. But he actively encouraged tribalism even ordering the massacre people of the Langi/Acholi tribes. He encouraged mismanagement in government offices by incompetent choice of appointments based on favouritism.
Corruption, inflation, extra judicial arrests, and killings, torture, poor service delivery, embezzlement, dilapidated infrastructure, shortages of basic commodities became the order of the day. Uganda saw a massive wave of exiles fleeing his misrule to Kenya & Tanzania. I'm sure they were too happy in Uganda so they wanted a break of the happiness.
2. His big talk of African Unity too was countered by his actions. He periodically had diplomatic standoffs with Kenya, was an aggressor against Tanzania against which he ordered the attack to capture land from. This however later backfired during the Ugandan-Tanzanian War. He participated in Uganda's first dubious military foray into the Congo, looting gold & ivory. His actions aided the break up of the East African Community which until that point was taking strides to develop the region. Such a spirit of Pan-Africanism, wow!
3. Whites actually in the beginning were pro-Amin. The U.K could have known something about Obote's eminent overthrow & were among the first countries to recognize his government. Israel provided much technical support to his army in terms of intelligence and arms in the beginning of his rule. The U.K continued to be his biggest donor in financial & material aid until it's sanctions due to his government's erratic actions.
Sometimes when doing history revisionism, facts still remain etched in stone.
For all we know animal rights activists or those against smoking will make Hitler the face of sainthood because he was against animal cruelty or smoking: two facts which, although are good, don't change the overall image of him being an evil person who preached and promoted terrorism, racism, genocide, war & other crimes against humanity.
@@-HughJass- he is a muslim, of course he will support muslim dictators
Amin had an obsession with Scotland and declared himself the last king of Scotland. While the doctor in the movie "The Last King Of Scotland" wasn't real it was based on his reign and his weird obsession with Scotland.

This guy is perhaps one of cruelest figures in modern African history. Uganda still feels the impact of his reign decades after the fact.

Could you elaborate?
He was nice to the reporter i saw the video
Francisco Macías Nguema if equatorial guinea is ten times worse; first president who got his country internationally recognized as the “Dachua of Africa” as his reign(similar to Pol Pot’s Cambodia) saw HALF the entire population leaving the country and a potentially further 3rd being butchered in his genocides…Yeah, obscure dictators shouldn’t be known for a reason.
@@Justin-pe9cl Why? The video does a decent enough job explaining his brutality.
Fun fact: When Idi Amin responded to rumours that he was a cannibal, he responded by saying human flesh was generally "too salty" for his taste.
Sounds like a very sane response to give 😨
"Yuck!" 🤮
"Idi Amin was a skilled boxer,🥊 though?"💭
In the film 'The Last King of Scotland', didn't the 'Amin' in that movie state, during the banquet organised for the European diplomats that the dinner prepared 'was all local African cuisine and that none of it was human flesh' much to the applause of some of those (actors) present?
So is that a yes or a no?
"Yes?"
This is surprisingly well-researched. I'm glad.
"His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hajj Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Emprie in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular"

The excellent 2006 film "The Last King of Scotland" goes excellently into Idi Amin's rule of Uganda and its utter sink into depravity in the 1970s...
Just a Hollywood movie for entertainment, not to be taken ad an historical documentary.
Forest Whitaker portrays Amin in the film, the last king of Scotland.
Whittaker won the best leading actor award for this role at the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, the Screen Actor's Guild Award, and the BAFTAs.
That's what that movie was about? See I was so confused. I expected historical fiction or fantasy or something. I was so confused when they were in Afrika
Watched the movie. Enjoyed the acting. It was a good movie
I wish The Last King of Scotland goes on air on TCM next July
that movie is also western and hollywood propaganda.
idi amin was a dictator killing people for fun and eat them for lunch this was madness he was crazy and cruel man.uganda now its free from this rapist womens and children and crazy man.
Amin's full title is: "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.
Yup thats him alright my parents grew up in Uganda during Imi's time
That’s quite the wordy title.
According to him, he is the Last Scottish King. Also, bro sent love letters to Queen Elizabeth II
Thanks but we all watched the video
And 'VC' in his title means 'Victorious Cross'.
There was never any concrete evidence he took part in cannibalizing his enemies. However it is known he was personally responsible for the deaths of thousands if not hundreds of thousands.
I was not even aware of such accusations against Amin, as far as I recall that was Bokassa and not Amin.
finally, I was waiting for a video about Idi Amin long time, Thank you

Ugandan dictator Idi Amin killed so many people because he was a brutal and ruthless leader who ruled through fear and violence. He came to power in a military coup in 1971 and quickly established a dictatorship characterized by human rights abuses, corruption, and economic mismanagement.
Known for his eccentric and erratic behavior, Amin reportedly ordered the executions of thousands of people during his regime, including political opponents, intellectuals, and minorities. He also expelled Uganda's Asian population and engaged in numerous military conflicts, including a war with Tanzania.
Amin's childhood was not well-documented, but it is known that he was born in the early 1920s in rural Uganda. He reportedly grew up in poverty and did not receive a formal education. Amin joined the British colonial army in the late 1940s and rose through the ranks to become a military officer.
Overall, Amin's upbringing, combined with his unchecked power and violent tendencies, likely contributed to his ruthless and destructive rule as Uganda's dictator.

Idi Amin is the reason that my family fled to the UK and I thought it was about time I Iearnt more about what happened. Thank you for this video!

I swear bro, Tanzania is probably one of or the most Chad African countries. During WW1, before Tanzania was independent, they held out against France, Belgium, Portuguese, and the British until Germany surrendered. And during Idi Amin offensive into Tanzania, they counter attacked and liberated Uganda.
There is no African country more Chad than Chad.
@@badgerattoadhall true. They literally defeated Libya with just 300 Toyota trucks while Libya had an Air Force, tanks, took Chad’s capital but Chad just didn’t care about their capital and started raiding Libyan territories.

Why is that ?
Please do fromer Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is likely the most important modern African leader. 1. As a young General his victories ended the Nigerian Civil War (1967 - 1970) 2. When people feared the end of the war would lead to ethnic massacres he turned around and defended the people he just conquered from his own army. 3. Twice he was persuaded to replace a dictator and both times handed the country back to democracy. Critically, he not only stepped down but refused to run in either election. 4. He spent 4 years in prison for opposing another military dictatorship, 5. When the dictator died he was released and this time ran for president and won in 1999 and was reelected in 2003 for his final term. 6. He somehow held together the nation that had every reason to implode, yet left the nation in 2007 in a state that has seen seven presidential elections and multiple peaceful transfers of power. The near exclusion of Obasanjo in these educational videos about African rulers on youtube, when he should have the most, is a confounding phenomenon. Yet it follows the pattern of ignoring the best of Africa and highlighting the worst
