Reuters Text:
General Idi Amin, President of Uganda, arrived in Kenya on Saturday (3rd November) for a visit of two days. The Ugandan leader was expected to spend most of his time in Kenya in talks with President Jomo Kenyatta.
President Kenyatta, a guard of honour and a group of children, met General Amin when his "plane touched down in Mombasa, a Kenyan coastal town. After inspecting the guard of honour, the two leaders drove in a motorcade to the State House in Mombasa. The streets were lined with more than 200,000 people, who'd turned out to see the Ugandan President.
Several days before the visit, General Amin outlined the points he intended to bring up in the talks with President Kenyatta. He said he would discuss his recent trip to the Middle East. General Amin also said he would tell President Kenyatta about his talks with President Nyerere of Tanzania, regarding the East African Community.
Other topics expected to be covered by the two leaders were the strengthening of unity between Uganda, Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Zaire and Zambia, and the modernisation of the East African Federation. General Amin said he'd already discussed this point with President Nyerere and was "confident that it would materialise."

It is rather strange how many people have asked what year this was:
The title of the video gives you the month and year, while the first line of the description box gives the precise date i.e. including the day of the week.
That is the way virtually all the videos on this channel are presented.
A lot of people on the Internet are ðumb
First you have to think where the description box is. Next you have to click there. Then you have to look at the text and read it then decide whether to complain or not. Nah that's too hard. Easier to complain.
This really takes me back. I was twenty in 1973, living in a single room in Naivasha, six months into my new job at the water department, tusker beer costing sh. 2.30, a packet of Embassy 2.00, a kilo of beef at 1.60, petrol at 1.20 a ltr, and my house rent at 120.00 a month. And my pay at the end of the month? 360.00. Those were the days!!
Oh you are 67yrs now 🤔
@@alicenjenga2063 Correct, and I remember those days like it was yesterday. The happiest days of my life. I live in the USA now but it can't compare with those early 70s.
@keep on dreaming I feel sorry for the young people now. Kenya has changed so much, for the WORSE. Life seems so miserable for young Kenyans.
Those were the good old days!
@@mutuuramwangi1913 appreciated u just listen to them. Many can’t understand
Y'all are ignoring the young boy who came with Idi And Saluted Kennyata. It was so sweet.
That’s Amins young boy Mwanga Amin. He went everywhere and made those salutes
Like father like son
I wish we become brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons between Kenya and Uganda 🇺🇬
Without these territorial lines..
I love you Kenyans...
I enjoy living here in Kenya though am a Ugandan...
Asante brothers and sisters no matter what I go through sometimes as a foreigner...
Let me see Kenyans replying and UGANDANS say yes...
Feels so good not seeing cellphones flashing around those days . Salute idi Amin
Memories is good sometimes I was just 48 years of age while enjoying the event with Mzee Kenyatta and FM Idii Amin Dada. It was Avery enjoyable moment when the weather itself was food and people use to love one another and Kenya was very very great nation. The great leaders RIP to my good friends having worked under their docket.
You must be very old today...
@@patricknjoroge749 mzee digital
I believe your lineage must be enjoying your presence around, your lively agility and precise stories so much fun. wazee ni hazina
@@trendy8840 Mzee online kkkkkkkkkkkkk
98/99 damn hopefully you lived a good life man , since it’s been a year since you last commented RIP but I hope you still breathing
OMG! How precious is that!
Beautiful SENGENYA dance,from my beautiful coastal Mijikenda people. Memory lane in deed.
Hamjaacha kusengenya watu, nyie, mmmmm?
Nitawapiga miereka nyinyi, masihara sitaki.
Everything indeed comes and go. If you have wisdom , understand
Ugandans always there tired of hearing people talking about history
True
Very true
As you say
Woouh!! Those children are our parents now. Amazing
Haha ha sure
They are actually grandparents.
Grand 😂 😂 😂 😂
@@401wcollman if still alive
Most are grandparents..like my parents. I av given them grandchildren. That's over 50 years ago!
Our great leader. Rest in peace
East Africa should have been one country
Fact
our grandmas singing karibu kenya... sweet voices
Time does not pause for anyone
🤣🤣🤣
Pray to these African Heroes proudly from senegal
We need these leaders today. Decisive leaders like Idi Amin Dada.
Are you a satanist? You must be very blood thirsty like the desire of your heart. 😭😭😭🙄
What a strong man Idi Amin Dada was
Africa must wake up with our great military leaders to protect Africa from the hands of our enemies,not to depend on our foolish and ignorant politicians who only speak for their selfish ends.
Thanks to all Africans who agree with me.
Africa needs a strong Army to combat our enemies,one great Army.
That great army is called enlightenment.
Africa needs a brave who can eliminate corruption once for all
True dear
Kumbe mzee jomo kenyatta alikuwa rafiki na iddi amini
@@maikoandrew58 Sio kila mtu ni adui yako.. Na kama sio adui haimaanishi kwamba ni adui..Kama ndivyo utamheshimu tuu.
I can honestly say " he loved his country and all he wanted was good for the African child. He tried to show that Africans especially Ugandans are humans not slaves on their own land.
well said
Agree
God bless you for that
If so"Why he invaded tanzania boarders ...
Iddi Amun was realy a great man for his nation, i m not Ugandan but my first time i visit Kampala was 1998, i go every where in Kampala, i saw African City means every thing belongs by Africans.
Iddi Amin is the man who made Kampala an African City. Before him It was small village belongs by British and their Indian Soldiers.
I say we Africans should recognize our heroes, and to listen the western propaganda agains us.
Thank you
Your hero was my zero, kindly read the history before commenting on things you do not know
molin creative it depends on the source of the history that you read! Amin loved his country unlike puppet Museveni
Boss Amin is the best President Uganda has ever got to the extent that he made Ugandans to own their economy, He built functioning Hospitals, Functioning Railway systems with brand new locomotives, procured ship's for Uganda Railway corporation functioning update, installed chorus @Gallant Makerere University. Installed the only Ugandan Satellite Until 2007, Corrupt Free generation, therefore Amin. Can not be compared with any ugandan President, he is A hero and will always be admired by Many despite imperialist propaganda
And for You need to read the history of Uganda Very well, coz you seem to be having very limited knowledge but your just quick @rubbishing the objective reasons of our Hero
Amin’s major problem is he didn't understand economics well, that's why he caused runaway inflation.
So happy and so proud are the leaders and the public . States for itself the good times .
tulidanganywa sana kuhusu idi amini kwenye history kumbe alikuwa mtu mpenda nchi yake napenda sana idi amini rest in peace❤
This have really changed...sahii ata arais waa any African country àkuje Kenya uwezi pata this kind of welcoming 😄...nowadays citizens have alot of freedom 😇😇😇which is our joy and we feel democracy is at work🥰
Imagine all are dead ,then everything is vanity,
Exactly
Would be fair to say, most of the adults in this video, not just the two big dons.
Vanity of Vanity, all is Vanity. What happen to the works you've done under the sun?
The paved raods and streets look amazing.
Yeah indeed streets were more organized than today's potholes everywhere
Nairobi was VERY CLEAN then. I know. I saw.
Indeed,people of the past had good wisdom not like today's.Kenyattta was really a true president and a hero.
It seems you do not know what you are talking about...he planted the seeds of the present system of grand thievery.
He was the worst leader we have ever had, very corrupt. Look at what happened to maumau fighters, very miserable old and poor guys.
I wonder how you define a good leader... This is sad on your part
Great man. Keep them videos coming.
Wow.
Should I say all these school children in this video are now on their 50s, 60s
Yap
sure
Yh
They're the damn ones looting our resources now.
lol. They are our mothers and grandmothers
He loved & worked for his people
wow, quite some history there.
Men without vision. Visionless Men.
Hail 🇺🇬 and 🇰🇪! R.I.P Idi Amin Dada!
Our Idi. Luv him
R.i.p. jomo Kenyatta!!!😔🌷
Good old days
What was the purpose of the visit?
The brave man IDD amin there is no president who will be as IDD amin. The loved man who was hated by some corrupted leaders and had no sense of hypocrisy. I love Amin
He was jealous of the rise of Indians.
U R Sick bro! The dude raped, maimed and killed africans. 500,000 perished under his watch.
@@hamsinisitini6613 I swear this was propaganda that has no sense of any authenticity. It is just nonsense claims that made the free minded people not to trust them. It was his enemies' lies.
@@canoksancomprehensivelearn7182 fact this dude he was leader
@@canoksancomprehensivelearn7182 True , it was propaganda from his enemies and some if the bad deeds were made by his enemies and rebels in order to destroy his name
Great leader Amin
Great Killer Amin
The greatest ever
The best leader.
@@hamsinisitini6613stop being bitter and childish it won't get u anywhere grow up its 2022😂😂😂

If the world is to be a better place to live africa must unite. Cause it's only when Africa's righteous people come together the world will come together !
So beautiful

Uganda had a president, hii rafiki yake ni puuuunda sana
can some one tell me. which year was this?
The title of the video gives you the month and year, while the first line of the description box gives the precise date i.e. including the day of the week.
Those school kids are far more older than me.
The greatest African leader
A great African leader that killed and tortured Ugandans for fun
amin was so respectfulleader
History should teach us to humble ourselves that all things finally have an end. M7 stop killing innocent ugandans
This power trip is like addiction to drugs....they love to be worshipped , salute, bands bodyguards and so on .its so so crazy that they even think their in heaven.( kudadeki)
The Head of Dynasties in KENYA.
His grandchildren are being set to rule us
He was the beginning of independent Kenya's doom. Set in place the very problems bedeviling Kenya - land grabbing, corruption, tribalism, bad governance, matatus etc.. etc.
Is this state house Mombasa?
Yap
Yeah I also wonder which year ? Soldiers still have same uniform 😭
Top man General Amin
I feel that Idi Amin should of made a pact and contract that united Native Africans together particularly Cushites, Nilotics, And Bantus yeah
Kenya and Uganda blood brothers
Idi Amin is better than Museven. Because loved his country and people ✌✌✌✌
Now long dead and gone. All is vanity. Hear oh brother and be wise ...
In what year??
1973
In the mean time thousands of Ugandans were being slaughtered like chickens and many had to fllee their own country to seek asylum abroad.
Idd, always smiling
But behind that smiling mask is a visious beast who killed many drank their blood and ate human flesh
@@molincreative817 Nothing is behind that smile , idi amin was a man who liked jocking with people , and he used to have fun with civilians even before he took over power , And he was clear to everyoneone and everything , he used to just say something and it was put in action , He just gave indians 90 days to go out of Uganda, and after those 90 days they way all out of Uganda
The little son of Idi Amin we see in this video, can anyone out there tell me where and how is him now?
What is his name?
He is nobody today just a story teller in ug
Turban Amin a new ISO vise after Kaka
This little id amini is arround 75 years old living very poor life . The good part of idd amin...he enjoyed woman and power so he didn't stole any money from uganda
I think the boy is Mwanga Amin
The real africas sons may god rest you in peace
The military band singing almost the same songs they sing today
Not almost but the same song.
@@captinadams284 today military should upgrade in that
If it is not broken don't fix it. That is the 7th Batallion Langatta
🤣🤣🤣...go change them!
I WONDER WHETHER ANY OF THOSE KIDS STILL ALIVE AND IF YES , HOW OLD ARE SOME OF THEM NOW ?
PRETTY MUCH INTERESTING MEHN .
I like 👍 idi amin
That was a leaner Amin then. But later he over-fattened, after feeding on Ugandans, literally
The Conqueror of the British Empire( CBE).
😆😆😆
hhahaha
Well idi amin is same delusional like fake empire in indonesia,rangga sasana,the sunda empire,he claim sunda empire control the world and he claiming owned british empire lol 😄😄
He was bizarre. Really loved swimming. Some of his cabinet was forced to learn swimming, or at least fake that they too enjoyed swimming 😂😂😂
The Coast Traditional Dances and almost all ethnic dances must be maintained and made use of frequently
THE BEST KING
Mzee jomo na idi amini walikipenda Kiswahili sana.....
Wangekosaje?
Amin Dada, the closet friend of president Siad Barre. He arrived in n Kenya by military jet, this shows how strong man he was!
Strong man run away during a war...
Why is the kid saluting? 😂
Did you see the Dictator's son saluting humbled Jomo!
Hahahaa
Where is the son now?
@@akapelwasitumbeko3594 deputy director ISO in Uganda
HAHAHA BY HIS REGIME NO CORRUPTION LIKE NOW AT MUSEVENI'S REGIME EVERYTHING IS A MESS.
At museven regime there is peace and Democracy which was not there in Amins brutal regime
@@fredfred1087 which peace are you talking about with people being tortured and murdered almost daily? Which democracy when elections favour only those in power not by winning but by rigging and threatening??
@@MZACK-ch9jv may be he mean African Democracy's
Amin returns to Kenya, where years before, as part of the Kings African rifles he was quite literally torturing and killing the Mau Mau
So Mzee Rulled for 15 years, i never thought so. were there Elections
Not elections.
There were selections. Anyway his successor outdid him (24 years). And others like M7, Biya 30s and 40s.
Where the kid at today?
And now those school kids are grown ups
Isaac Kamau they are past grown up, they are grannies.
@@rendiman2878 true
Is the story being fed to us about this man true or false?
I doubt too
False
The Gold wearing president🇰🇪
Iddi Amin never paid offical visit to Tanzania. why? does anyone has a clue?
Yes he came to Mwanza and Bukoba not officially though
Tanzania harboured guerillas who attacked Uganda regularly, so he became enemies with Nyerere.
That's where Obote, the president he had overthrown, and all the rebels fighting his government were. Tanzania was his government's enemy.
@@ezekieljacob5795 tanzania and uganda were hostile during his time.
Lol , General Idi Amin was just a military man who believes in military ,and he respected that so much , as you can see for yourself , whole time in the car , he's saluting .
A very active and just part of the story of him we haven't heard , ONLY the negative side of him , but HIDING some of the good things he did in Africa .
Yeah , an African Origin should ONLY be recognized by portraying him with crime , so sad .
He was a soldier through and through. It was his life. But, like you say, they focus on the exagerrated tales of horror.
Who noticed the little boy..imo
African nations have every thing but today where are they?Religion and evil malpractice gone everything down.
Right left right left right left..
They should have detained him
Mlitoa club hii wapi?
Amin was so genius but one problem with him he wasn't educated 🙏🙏🙏
True he wasn't educated but he is better than most of the African presidents who are educated
The problem is he supported Palestine, and western Imperialist did not love him
Has your 'white' education taken you any further than the Biggest Conqueror of the British Empire!?
Here is the link to his full Press Conference at the UN in 1976 concerning the decolonization of Africa, Uganda's relationship with the Commonwealth, and many more. czcams.com/video/E2u-qka1Mj0/video.html
Idi Amin was my uncle
Kenya it was and not now,we are just donkeys of working and our reward is poverty and a skinny body only,those were days to enjoy life in kenya,that was the real magical Kenya and not now
Did I see Uhuru saluting?...
nyokabi thuo yes I thought so too...at first I thought it’s Amin’s son though
Nop ni Amin's son
That's Amin's son that was even given military medals by his dictator president dad.
Kumbe hakupendwa na Mchonga lakini alifurahiwa na Harambee
Baadaye kidogo yaani 1976, Idi Amin alitishia kuvamia Kenya na kusukuma mipaka ya Uganda hadi Naivasha.
