{UAH} THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST PRESIDENT lDI AMIN.

On June 25th, 1978, Amnesty International released a report to the US government in which the human rights organization claimed that President Idi Amin's government had killed over 300,000 Ugandans. In 2006, Uganda's DailyMonitor newspaper requested the public for any evidence supporting that allegation. Nothing transpired. In fact, the only "evidence" of Amnesty International's allegations seems to be Amnesty Internationals own report. So, I wrote to them in 2015 requesting for any possible explanation of how they came to their conclusions. I asked if they could maybe provide the people of Africa with a tally sheet containing a list of incidents where people were mass murdered by the Amin government, the respective dates, locations, and number of people killed per incident! I told them it would be a good document to display in a photo exhibition recapping the Amin government.

It turns out Amnesty International does not have neither such a tally, nor even did they ever step in Uganda, and this despite the Amin government inviting them publicly during the UN General Assembly of 1975 in New York, and guaranteeing their investigators open doors wherever they wanted to go.

What other Western journalists and professors are now trying to claim is that other organizations made the claim. But even then, it is the same situation. There is no evidence, no tally sheet, and the writers have never even been to Uganda. It's as if they just conspired either each other to write their reports off each other overseas.

So my question is, how could they mathematically come up with those numbers?

Meaning that their reports are actually baseless.

Now, while there were several heinous abductions of personalities (killings whose instigators were tried, sentenced, and put on firing squad), Ugandans never saw any mass murders in the country until after the Amin government. The regimes that followed started fighting for power on bigoted tribalism and religious sectarianism ideologies, and slaughtered countless Ugandan peasants in the process, innocent victims whose heads they put on display on the roadside, and this evidence actually exists even today. The perpetrators of these barbaric acts are the very ones who were calling Amin a monster and making countless other false allegations including that he was a cannibal who ate his own son and fed his political opponents to crocodiles at Karuma bridge. The son they are talking about is alive and well abroad as we speak, and no crocodiles have ever existed at Karuma Bridge.

Obviously, the local politicians who concocted all this had no mirrors in their homes to remember that the blood of Ugandans was actually on their own faces and on their own hands, and the evidence exists to date

When should this country launch a Truth & Reconciliation Commission?
