May 1973 - The Mind Of An African Tyrant - Amin enjoying

May 1973 - The Mind Of An African Tyrant - Amin enjoying his tea. Amin's impatience and wilfulness has led, directly or indirectly, to the murder of innocent people - One day when the graves are counted and the grisly evidence is put together, Africans will try to find out what pushed Idi Amin Dada, this seemingly affable and tolerant man, into tyranny. Perhaps part of the answer goes back to his early years in the isolated north-west of Uganda. His tribe was so backward that it had no chieftaincy system, nor the kind of local democracy that many other African people take for granted. Strong counted more than the wise or compliant ones.
