{UAH} WHO SAYS AMIN APPOINTED HIMSELF?

I wrote about how my father became President of Uganda, then a debate ensued about who was telling the truth.

The widespread rubbish has been about how "a power hungry and greedy Idi Amin brutally grabbed power in a military coup and appointed
himself president." Lol.

I endeavoured to explain what Amin himself said about events that day.

I went even further to crosscheck his information
with the very officers who broke free from Obote and initiated the coup.

But because I am Amin's son, my assertions were viewed as possibly biaised.

Then all of a sudden this turns up!

Sir Peter Allen, Former Senior Judicial Officer in Uganda who served here from 1955 to 1987,
actually wrote the following:
"In 1971, while President Obote was in Singapore attending the Commonwealth Heads of
Government conference, a group of soldiers, led
by Sergeant-Major Aswa, announced on the radio that they had overthrown the government.
This was because they were dissatisfied with Obote, who was extremely left-wing (Obote called it Scientific Socialism) which made life very
miserable. They then asked Amin to take over as President, which he did."

What Sir Peter Allen doesn't say here, is that it was by force and at gun point.

So who with their "scientific socialism" bullshit still says Idi Amin instigated a military
coup and appointed himself?
