By Guy Hallowes, published 3/5/2021

Currently the developed world's response is just to try to prevent migrants from entering their territories.

shonkyminister,

Every society has an "economy" even those digging for roots and grubs, have an economy of sorts. Your man Big Dada had an economy, he just didn't have any money. If Uganda had cash reserves of any kind, they had been well and truly plundered by Amin and his cronies long before the jumbo jets stopped flying. Shonky I know you only have a primary school education, I think you said that, but a little reading of World History will tell you Amin's "economic" policies totally bankrupted the country. That left Britain to give supposed aid to Uganda in the form of a monthly plane load of luxury goods to help keep the butcher they were supporting in power.

"The Ugandan economy was devastated by Idi Amin's policies, including the expulsion of Asians, the nationalisation of businesses and industry, and the expansion of the public sector. The real value of salaries and wages collapsed by 90% in less than a decade."

Pauliar,

Your post combines idiocy, ignorance and outright lies. Uganda had 10m people and a fertile country and a thriving economy pre-independence. Your petty racism is showing.

shonkyminister,

I have not said Ugandans were not "better off" living under colonial rule, The Ugandans would have been "better off" living under Attila The Hen than Amin, he was a psychopathic killer. Its believed Big Dada murdered his third wife and cut her head off, Jesus Christ what does that tell you!

You appear to be an apologists for Amin, not because you think he was your kina guy, but because Britain without any consideration for the Ugandan people thought Amin was their kinda guy, a madman they could control, and he should be supported, they wished to exploit the country post colonialism through a proxy dictator. How wrong they were, he got out of control and run amuck!

Pauliar,

If anything, you are the apologist for Idi Amin in trying to blame his rise to power and staying in power on the British.

You have not yet been able to show any support for him at any point and I suspect you have just invented the monthly supply of goods gifted by the UK.
