I was in the 6th form at school when Idi took over Uganda and my town recieved many of the Asians that fled at the time. We were asked to help with the childrens reading classes for one afternoon a week at the local junior school. I was aware of what was happening according to the media and it definitely had an impact on myself and others around me.
I met Idi Amin in exile, very unexpectedly and I was very concerned at the time because I too had heard all the terrible stories.
My observation was that he really cared for his children and was very polite and kindly. His family obviously loved him very much. I can only speak as I find.
Who knows the truth?
We listen to what we are told by our governments and sometimes I wonder if the truth is actually bent to suit, nothing would surprise me.
