Idi Amin: The Butcher of Uganda

Hindsight

About this episode

Charming, gregarious, ready to please. These are the disarming traits of one of Africa’s most violent dictators. For eight years, Idi Amin ruled Uganda with terrifying consequences. Switching alliances became a game and the former boxing champion liked to play. 

*Some scenes might be disturbing to some listeners.
