Uganda President Worse Than Idi Amin
Black Agenda Radio with Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
15 Oct 2018

Ugandan dissident entertainer and national legislator Bobi Wine says President Yoweri Museveni is worse than former dictator Idi Amin. Milton Allimadi, publisher of Brooklyn-based Black Star News and a native of Uganda, agrees. Museveni set in motion the mass killings and minority Tutsi takeover of neighboring Rwanda, and was complicit in the deaths of 7 million Congolese, said Allimadi. He believes events may come to a head at a huge concert scheduled by Wine in Kampala, the nation’s capital. “Ugandans have had enough of 31 years of US-sponsored dictatorship,” said Allimadi.
