Idi Amin, a Brutal Dictator Of Uganda, Is Dead at 80. JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia, Saturday, Aug. 16— Idi Amin called himself ''a pure son of Africa,'' but his bizarre and murderous eight years as president of Uganda typified the worst of the continent's military dictatorships. He was 80. Mr. Amin died today at King Faisal Specialist hospital, a hospital official said.

But to Jaffar Amin, the 6ft 4in dictator was known simply as 'Big Daddy'. The 40-year-old English-educated son of the dictator has given The Mail on Sunday the first interview ever granted by a close family member. In doing so he breaks the vow of silence sworn by the Amin clan since they fled Uganda in 1979. Jaffar and some of his siblings were finally allowed to return a decade later.

It is one of the more gruesome scenes from The Last King Of Scotland, the acclaimed new film about the Ugandan dictator, and it underlines his barbaric image. Amin died in August 2003, aged 78. He was buried in Saudi Arabia where he had spent the last 24 years of his life in exile, disgrace and silence.

Yoweri Kaguta Museveni ( pronunciation (help·info); born 15 September c. 1944) is a Ugandan politician who has been President of Uganda since 29 January 1986. Museveni was involved in rebellions that toppled Ugandan leaders Idi Amin (1971–79) and Milton Obote (1980–85). With the notable exception of the north, President Museveni has brought relative stability and economic growth to a country that has endured decades of rebel activity and civil war.

In 1971, General Idi Amin, a former British sergeant from a different northern tribe, overthrew Obote in a coup and then set about oppressing just about everyone who wasn’t from his own region. After Amin was ousted by Ugandan rebels aided by the Tanzanian army, Obote rigged an election and returned to power in 1980.
