Idi Amin
Idi Amin, who has died at an age thought to be 78, was one of the most brutal military dictators to wield power in post-independence Africa.
While chief of staff of the Ugandan army, under Dr Milton Obote's civilian government, he seized power in 1971. He made himself president, with the rank of field marshal, and after eight years of power left Uganda a legacy of bloodthirsty killings and economic mismanagement. Parliament was dissolved; no elections were held; secret police - most of them in plain clothes - exercised absolute power of life and death; and the courts and the press were subjugated to the whims of the executive.
The death toll during the Amin regime will never be accurately known. The best estimate, from the International Commission of Jurists in Geneva, is that it was not less than 80,000 and more likely around 300,000. Another estimate, compiled by exile organisations with the help of Amnesty International, put the number killed at 500,000.

WIKIPEDIA---- HAS MUCH MORE TO SAY ABOUT THIS RUTHLESS DICTATOR.
AMIN IS ONLY ONE OF DOZENS OF SUCH DICTATORS DOWN THROUGH HISTORY.
HE WAS NOT CALLED BY THE ETERNAL GOD TO SALVATION IN HIS RUTHLESS LIFE.
HE WILL BE IN THE GREAT WHITE THRONE RESURRECTION SPOKEN ABOUT IN REVELATION 20.
HE WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO REPENT OF HIS SINS, TO HUMBLE HIMSELF, TO READ THE BIBLE. HE WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS HIS PERSONAL SAVIOR.
MILLIONS, NAY BILLIONS, WILL BE AS ADI AMIN. SALVATION WILL BE OFFERED TO THEM. THEY WILL HAVE THEIR FIRST PLAIN AND OPEN DOOR TO WALK INTO GOD'S WAY TO BE SAVED, TO BE CONVERTED, AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
GOD HAS SAID THROUGH PETER THAT HE WISHES ALL TO NOT PERISH BUT TO COME TO REPENTANCE AND SO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE..
THE LOVE AND MERCY OF THE LORD IS SO LARGE, SO MIGHTY, SO HUGE THE HUMAN MIND CAN HARDLY COMPREHEND IT.
GIVE THE ETERNAL GOD PRAISE AND GLORY.
