  • His puppet was sometimes seen during the first season of "Spitting Image", but always in small roles, probably due to the fact that his role in international politics was already over since the end of the 1970s.
  • Idi Amin Dada ( 192516 August 2003) was the third President of Uganda, from 1971 to 1979. Amin joined the British colonial regiment, the King's African Rifles in 1946, serving in Somalia and Kenya. Eventually, Amin held the rank of Major general in the post-colonial Ugandan Army and became its Commander before seizing power in the military coup of January 1971, deposing Milton Obote. He later promoted himself to field marshal while he was the head of state.
  • After seizing power in a coup and liberating Uganda from the drunken excesses of democracy, Amin made Uganda the most wonderful place on Earth, if not the Universe. As ruler of Uganda, he was soft and cuddly, often reading children stories before dining on them. He decimated the population due to mood swings, destroyed that nuisance called "the economy," eviscerated the proletariat, and dropping bombs on kittens just on a whim. He is regarded as the greatest success story of ever, among Western opinion leaders who find it distasteful to criticize any African leader; while those with dissenting opinions are in various stages of digestion or decomposition.
  • Amin's rule was characterized by gross human rights abuse, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. The number of people killed as a result of his regime is estimated by international observers and human rights groups to range from 100,000 to 500,000. Dissent within Uganda and Amin's attempt to annex the Kagera province of Tanzania in 1978 led to the Uganda–Tanzania War and the demise of his regime. Amin later fled to exile in Libya and Saudi Arabia until his death on August 16, 2003.
