September 1977: Seven DeadlyDays With The Mad Colonel

September 1977: Seven DeadlyDays With The Mad Colonel - Trigger-Happy Colonel Maliyamungu boasts of having killed thousands. Colonel Maliyamungu ( God's property), or otherwise known as Isaak Lugonzo, strikes observers of Idi Amin's Uganda as the field marshal's power base, and the most likely man to assume power if there was a vacuum. He combines ruthlessness and courage to fan off those who try to block his rise. This true discipline of the teachings of professor Idi Amin told me that he has turned down cabinet posts to remain in the barracks'machinations of the rule of the gun that keeps Amin at the helm. I spent a week tailing the colonel and pretending to be a link-man in the coffee smuggling near the Kenya Uganda border. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
