  • very interesting video thanks

  • I LOVE IDI AMIN!!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU EUROPEANS SAY. LONG LIVE IDI AMIN..

  • wierd how all these dictators birthday's are a guess

  • @Rocksteddybelmont no really that weird. Birthdays annual celebrations are more of a European tradition. African countries had a history of  celebrating the day of birth and certain stages during a childs development.

  • At 3:40 it says the British Army gave him the nickname 'Idi Amin Dada'

    This is actually not true - it had been his name from birth. He was named after his father Amin Dada

  • Oh look... it is AlJazeera. The news outlet that lied about Gadhaffi hiring 30.000 black African missionaries to kill his own people... Who else.

    Lucky I got my I watching when my eyes look.

  • please can i have this video in french???

  • @TheSimdia no speak english

  • English leaders are the worse of brutals killing, look at how they caputures saddam and hand over him to his enemies.

  • @Josh9772

    shut the fuck up always the western hating comments like usa is worse jews are worse bla bla bla getting old!

    actually this is a video about idi amin and the western have nothing to do with that!

    how can you people still defend a monster who killed about 400.000 of his own people?!

    sick world sick people

  • This gets me really angry when people including Africans legitimize the killing of other people as an African thing, like the RUF people eating their victims is an African thing,because cannibalism is an African thing. If you think you are backward you give so much leverage to people across the world to think that you are primitive. That is giant horseshit. A despot is a despot - his cruelty is not an ethnic or racial thing.

  • @fcgfgcfg

    when Europe was in the position of destitution that Africa is in now. Killing off your enemies was a european thing. so since human nature is constant and only the environments under which different humans live, are variables, when the environment in africa demands brutal force, thats what you get. Amin's son was correct to tell ppl not to judge his father.

  • only in Jewish Hollywood they made hem a monster and thats a fact

  • He was a monster, but I'll tell you..it looked like he could throw one hell of a right hook. His "speech" was amusing.."This particular certain point is VERY important!" was one of my favorites. Too bad he got away; this man caused some incredible suffering and is -- although not quite a Hitler or Mao -- among the most evil people (that we KNOW of anyway) that ever lived. Thanks for the excellent post! :-)

  • The flesh of mankind is nothing but weak when time to judge but the soul of mankind will always be judge by the next generation that comes after. in all men need to learn to love each other no matter where we come from for we all breath one air and one Sun on top of our roof .

  • you had to love iggy - i nearly wet myself at his Help the British Campaign - and best not mess with the israelis - or you'll get fucked up

  • an idiot in every sense of the word.

  • 7:40 Christopher Walken is right!

  • @bozkurt2002 ...hahahaha fuck u muzies...israel is here to stay, i dare you come and get us... u all arabs cowards, get fucked, long live israel

  • "He's a great man, he never beats children." What a great achievement.

  • in general terms all those african presidents are worth nothing.

  • @seerattan That is such an ignorant statement to say. Yes africa has it's share of brutal dictators. But africa has plenty of leaders past present and future that have great non brutal legacy's.

  • Now this reminds me of what is actually happening today in the West or perpetrated by the West in the West or other countries.

    Imin as well as other leaders in the African continent was and/or maybe is a by product of the West one way or the other (whether corporate sponsored or politically endorsed). Funny how they can big you up and bring you down.

    By the way can people STOP using the word Africa and refer to nations in Africa by their names. it does damage African reputation as a whole.

  • height of african intelligence...

  • Amin's son is just as notorious and unintelligent as his father. Until we get out of such blatant lies and take such unintelligent minds away from the African scene, we would not develop. His son is just as proud and evil as amin himself.

  • 8:12 - 8:19 Does the guy say, "He'd have the husbands of the women he f***ked murdered ..." ?!!

  • caniballl , un genocida sin juicio que vivió tranquilamente sus ultimos 20 años en el exilio , quizás ahora esté en el infierno , Loco como estaba en la tierra

  • about africa- if you can t feed more than 1 or 2 kids why make 20???????

  • @gerafreeman Shut up! ....amin's 50 children is all you heard in the video? you are as arrogant and unintelligent as amin....Only Uganda can feed all of Africa, and then if you add Nigeria, both nations can feed Africa and all of Europe agriculturally. Idi Amin and some other idiots are the ones who give you mouth to talk like this because they have wrecked Africa.........

  • He never deserved to be born. We lost so many years with this stupid idiot. Please Lord don't let this happen to Ugandan any more.

  • I FIND IT IRONICAL THAT THOSE THAT ENSLAVED AND KILLED MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD WOULD CALL AMIN A BUTCHER ----AMAZING

  • Comment removed

  • What a coincidence that the demonisation of Idi Amin in international media began after he kicked the Israelis out of Uganda.

  • I Just wish I could swim like Idi Amin at 6:40 knoking all those niggers off my way.

  • just another puppet of the west

    what a shame

    just like all these puppets in africa asia arabia shame on them

  • Africa is untermenschen!! yeah!!! Die NEGERS, DIE!!!

  • Pretty soon Al Jazera will make another one: I Knew David Rockefeller

  • I don't understand how come we always hear all these horrible stories about other ppl and not the death of millions of ppl both Bush's have done in the name of their pagan gods?

  • Easy for Idi Amin's daughter to say he was a nice man since he's her relative.

  • @JReed1985 Such an easy thing to say, when you are born of the seed who wants to wipe out all mankind except his own white race.

  • @dadreamzworld No I'm not like that I have friends who are of different races than me.

  • @JReed1985 Do you not know the kind of mass murdering your ppl have done?

  • @dadreamzworld Yes I am aware but that doesn't mean you should demonise one particular race just because of something they did in the past. For example you shouldn't demonise Germans because of the Jewish Holocaust, the Spanish had a Jewish Holocaust too. In America you have the black version of the KKK Black panthers which are black people who hate White people.

    It doesn't matter what race you are there's always bad people in every race. We're all people at the end of the day.

  • @JReed1985 Your race demonized themselves and in the past? What past? The bible says there is NOTHING new under the sun, both President Bush's were killing ppl in these wars just like they came to our land and stole us like the bible says. Jewish Holocaust? Theres only one real "JEW" those were the decendants of the Edomites. The real Jews are the tribe of Judah where the word Jew comes from. Matters if the black panthers hate white ppl you can't compare that to the mass murder of your Continue.

  • @JReed1985 race. The bible says that the US would come and rob us and the bible says that they are our enemies. God is all seeing and all knowing, He didn't call the white ppl of the US our enemies for nothing, besides you don't enslave your "friends". No we aren't all ppl at the end of the day, some of us are called and are Gods chosen ppl. White ppl most and I mean MOST don't believe in God. The Bushes aren't Christian they don't believe in God they worship a stone owl. They are anti God.

  • @JReed1985 I meant theres only one real ppl  who are known as "JEWS" and they weren't the decendants of the Edomites.

  • @dadreamzworld Oh I never knew that.

  • @JReed1985 Well I'm just letting you know that God is real. There are 12 tribes of Israel, The tribe of Judah American Negros, Tribe of Gad North American Indians Tribe of Issachar Mexicans, Tribe of Levi &Tribe of Simeon they both are on the Domincan Island, Tribe of Ephraim Puerto Rico, Tribe of Manasach Cuba and there are a few others. I just thought I would point a few out.

  • @dadreamzworld Interesting to know, even though I haven't seen any proof if God is real but I'm not going to say he's not real because you can't prove it. Perhaps believing in God does make him exist.

    I do believe in Superstition.

  • @JReed1985 If you read the bible and realize whats going on you would see that there is your proof. We were brought to this country with the bible, the white man never believed in God might of funny now they do. Then they want to say they are Gods chosen.

  • @dadreamzworld yeah I didn't believe that Jesus was white he would of least have been tanned. Not many people believe he was a Jew to begin with.

  • @dadreamzworld

    Notice that you can not find the video interview with Idi on the river in the boat here, the section where he is talking about how he kicked the Israelis out of Uganda? All his demonisation began after that. So I think I have made my case that there is a conspiracy of lies about this guy in the west.

  • @dadreamzworld Bullshit were are the same as the Ugandan ppl AFRICAN. There was no tribe of judah all that is a myth. we would be listed as Hamites as well not israelites. Get out of the bible stories & deal with historical facts. We never made a conenant with the God of Abraham. U would be surprised to know who that God really is. Research the origins of Yahweh.

  • Idi amin was an arsehole, I was there.

  • @Wabeberu God Bless u my friend

  • 6:45 did anyone notice how Amin cheated in the race...historical lol.

  • I never met Amin, but I met Julius Nyerere, a deeply intelligent & humane man. Some of the selective coverage of Africa is unfair. I learnt Swahili before English, as a small white boy in the bush in nothwestern Tanganyika/Tanzania in the 1950's & 60's. It's the most beautiful language, & hearing it still makes me feel happy. I wrote a book about it, & there's a short video on youtube.

  • @speakswahilidammit what is the book and/or video called? Im interested...

  • @knowledgeblack2012 Hello. The book, & video, are called "Speak Swahili, Dammit!" For the video, just go into youtube & type the three words. In the video, they give you the book website, which contains reviews from Tanzania, Kenya, UK, etc. Best wishes.

  • @gjc82071. Yes, the white man DID indeed invent people like Idi Amin, Mobutu, Ian Smith, Saddam Hussein. They gave these individuals permission to do anything in as long as their(the white man's) interests were served. That's how Mobutu had amassed 400 million dollars by the time he died while his country (Zaire) was in tatters. You just hear these stories; some of us LIVED them.

  • make sure you get both sides of the story

  • why are the british pretending as if they were not responsible for foisting Idi Amin on the Ugandans, this is the same way they foisted Saddam Hussein on the Iraqis until he refused to take instructions from them, this is the same thing that happened with Amin, he started out as their puppet and then when he refused to keep the ugandan economy open for them to come in and pillage and exploit it they decided to topple him - hypocrisy of the highest order.

  • wheres proof he did all them crimes they accuse him of

  • last king of scotland was a bad movie....very bad acting, very unrealistic accent etc

  • @kasibante So why did the lead actor win an Oscar?

  • @xoBeautySparkzxo

    if you could here the reviews of the western media, it is when it will all come clear to you. they couldn't tell that he had the wrong accent, Amin was not chis wife......ross-eyed, but the actor was, he was not as black and had shorter hair, there was no white doctor, and it is the white doctor who had an affair with

  • the whiteman makes you hate or love whoever he wants you to...just recently MANDELA was a terrorist now he is a darling....DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR VICIOUS LIES...they are hypocrits

  • Amin has met his creator and he has received what he has earned.

  • @KirindeThe white man will never say I was a cruel raping monster who take advantage of Africa.. We have to document these atrocities ourselves if we ever want it to be out there. To be honest we have to do the research and make these documentaries ourselves..

  • now I see the evil came serious like every president in Africa katopia kills.

  • Reminds Me Hugo Chavez

  • Maiuna Amin , be objectiv !

  • I have no idea how some people cope with being the son or daughter of a genocidal maniac.

  • something called moving on

  • watch him @ 06.49 hitting the poor guy swimming next to him in the water..just for him to win the race!crazy!

  • One mans freedom fighter is anothers terrorist!!

    The Colonial and imperial nations of the world do not have any moral grounds to preach about anything...For their hands are dripping with the blood of innocent people...Including that of their own brainwashed citizens.

  • Idi Amin was Hero for Africans. I do not care what the white man says. He is a hero. He is a man who really stood up to the west. We r tired of all these white lies. We need people like Idi Amin in AFRICA. so they can lead us political . After they have done that we will bring in the so called educated people to lead us economically.

  • that's what africa needs another tyrant with a grade 5 education massacring hundred of thousands

    but hey he stands against the west that makes up for everything

  • @PwiththeT  pw i bet if he did ur fam wrong u would'nt care, what he stood up for. life is very important

  • @wallstreetpro have u lived in uganda before?

  • If U believe the fu..cking Brits speaking, UUUUUUU believe anything. I do not want to defend Amin but fucking Brits R not in place to talk about other countries when they were the one who fu..ked those countries in the first place. Fu..ck Britain.

  • totally agree with you on that

  • @fraizer57 true british did fuk up everybody but why fuck up our own ppl, what the difference?

  • @TheRoyaldiamond, Thank U & I fully agree with U but look what the mother fu..ker filthy faggot Brits did to Africa, India, Cyprus, the whole of the Middle East since 1920. Look what they did to the Shah of Iran & his people in 1979. See how with the help of Jimmy Carter they staged the Islamic revolution & send the once prosperous & progressive country in to the dark ages because the Shah refused to renew the oil contracts which was to run out strange enough in 1979.

  • @fraizer57 ok i hundred percent agree with that, british messed up eevrybody , but look klling our people even made dem happy cos it looks like they dont even hav to do nothing anymor we will do it and guess what they laughin at us, eating your own ppl, come on that too much frazer. what he did was very wrong too . expecially to ur own ppl ur blood brothers, those british were not our brothers but outsiders . but it ok idi will go and answer to god.

  • 07.37 it took a while for them to realize? please. An uneducated buffoon took over power and the british were excited over it, then all of a sudden they later realized it was a mistake. Fuck that, they knew it was a mistake from the start, they just thought that since he was an idiot, he will be easily manipulated, when they realized it was not possible for that to happen and he turned on them was when they realized their mistake. Typical western thinking.

  • what is with the subtitles in these documentaries not that hard to understand. If Idi Amin who was amongest the world's known sadists was the butcher of Africa what makes Robert Mugabe a saint?

  • UK made edi amin..They trained him...They used his killing abitity to improve there(uk army) power..while UK is abt to leave the uganda they trained Rifel squad more..to be future leaders..So bottoom line UK made IDI AMIN(butcher of Africa) who he is....if there s no UK back in 50 or 60 years most of the nations are very glorious now like Asians Africans etc.. UK tunred this world around and accusing them with there media power..

  • ruki009 they did nothing but put him through hell God turn it around and made him who he was not the british stop being ignorant!!! thats one of your main problems.

  • First of all get your spelling correct it is IDI as a matter of fact your spelling is diabolical it is THEIR power not THERE power where in the world did you go to school. Your logic seems to be highly contaminated.

  • uk made amin? are u stupid? u dont know what ur talking about. some men just rise to power under greed. that was him. uk stood there. he used uganda resources not british power.

  • Why don't they make programme of the European killing Afrcans.

  • That is a good point. I would like to see that, too. But I think conflicts caused by Europeans and those caused by Africans themselves are equally interesting to learn about. No terrible pieces of history should be ignored, whether they are caused by blacks or whites, I think.

  • @shussey100 what does that have to do with a video of a dictator that killed and tortured his own ppl?

  • @shussey100 roots

  • @shussey100 HIM AND HIS SON ARE SAD

  • @shussey100 what for?

  • @shussey100 Good point! just listen to this hypocritical British narrator! Since when is British Imperialism not violent, suppressive, and corrupt?

  • @shussey100 Because that happened before their were tv cameras so there isn't any footage and that doesn't make for good TV shows.

  • @shussey100 why don't you?

  • Amin's brother made a good point All African leaders kill, King Leopold of Belgium ruled the Congo his men killed 8 million africans children women men ! nobody calls him a madman? there will NEVER be a holloywood movie about this, but every yr u see a movie about Holocaust!

  • @CreoleCommando

    "there will NEVER be a holloywood movie about this, but every yr u see a movie about Holocaust!"

    And what makes it even more nauseating if not blood libel is that 90% of the so called Holocaust stories and films out there are lies. If anyone doesnt reaslise this then take your pick from any of the revision documentaries at for example OneThirdOfTheHOlocaust - and most of the most vocal critics are jews themselves who feel dishonoured by the continuing hoax.

  • Today africa is one of the fastest growing continents we have many democracies very few wars (no not every african country is engulfed in conflict) and identities have been forged out of tribal and other conflicts the future for africa is now we have achieved so much and everybody who says look at african corruption and all that look at Ghana look at Senegal look at sierra leone look at liberia botswana zambia mozambique angola these countries are growing democratic (angola not democratic)

  • People just exploit this because they know shit about africa its holloywood shit. Mengsitu did worst and I bet none of you know him

  • A nationalist and a mass murder who killed 200.000 black workers.

    Like all new leaders after the colonial independence of their nations, he was corrupt and power hungry.

    First the whites from Europe, exploited the African proletarian. Than the black elite took over the roll of exploiting the African proletarian.

    Workers of Africa Unite !

  • You white people sickens me. You plunder the wealth of african countries. You left them poor to death. You take away their identity/ You force them to take your religion. You make them have enourmous amount of debt. Then you try to judge idi amin. Even if he is evil, he is nothing more than the reflection of the evilness of white people on africa for hundreds of years. You make me sick

  • White people did indeed exploit Africa for their own imperialist needs. But the current leaders of Africa are just corrupt and behave like the white imperialists.

    Imperialism knows no colours. White, Black, Yellow, in all races you find imperialists who love to exploit workers and farmers.

  • Amin was a sick bastard. he killled 300,000 of his own people

  • fuckin whites. they made a mistake to train him. good for amin

  • fuck yiou nigger!

  • Stupid whore, saying her father was like a mother,a sister and a friend.

    of course how couldn't be all those and even a mother' when your really mother might have been turn into shreds like pieces of meat??????

    Think again you black ass pitch! He was Demon in flesh!!!!

  • how about the british who came to fight black africans. stealing gold,diamond and resourses. aint we missing some history here? what happened when whites invaded uganda? i charge the white man for being the greatest deciever and enslaver on this earth, i charge the white man for being the greatest robber and creator of havoc in africa. talking about amin being a demon. whites didn't bring democracy but rather hypocrisy in africa, they can't deny the charges

  • @kironde112, Well said my freind. The mother fu..ker Brits have not left one country in this planet unscared. They R rapists theives charlatans & the mother of all evil. Brits R the true meaning of the black page in the history of mankind. The whole world has been too silent for too long. Time to fu..ck the Brits whereever they go.

  • @kironde112

    what does that have to do with a dectator that killed his own ppl?

  • Admittedly here is much truth in your statement. I will give you that. But I counter-charge not all, but many black Africans with being perpetual blame seekers who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. The white man didn't invent people like Idi Amin. Many of these African leaders are in a position to help their own people & better their country. Instead they treat the position as a means to loot their own country & murder their own people. Place blame equally or not @ all.

  • @kironde112 And I suppose not one single African was involved in the slave trade? There is more than enough guilt to go around.

  • @kironde112 Yeah, right. So when whites kill blacks it is awful, but when blacks kill blacks or whites - it is just anticolonial struggle, eh? You charge whites for being enslavers, but who was selling their black brothers to white slavers? I believe Papa-Mama's shops in West Africa. EVERY RACE is guilty for being slave-owners, but the WHITE race was the first one to outlaw it on moral grounds. So spare me your black-pride BS.

  • @kironde112

    DENIED!

    - The White Devil

  • ignorance

  • Eh

    Idi Amin was okay.

  • I totally agree with you...

  • I like what he did to zionist Israel. He stood up to them. Thats why they hate and made that movie on him.

  • wow pigs propaganda always win...idi amin african hiros .cave man the evil

  • Is it me or does Idi Amin's ex Health Minister looks just like the one in "The Last King Of Scotland"(Movie about Idi Amin)

    But in the movie he was executed, and I thought he killed and ordered the mutilation of one of his wife for adultery. How come they didnt talk about this? Pls reply...

  • shit he had 50 children?????? I know he is from the Devil now!

  • This looks like an Uber-Robert Mugabe that was Idi Ammin.

  • This is just One out of à thousand good examples,this colonisers taught him to Rule by brutality and He just gave them à taste of their lessons.Why were they complaining.idi Amin learnt everything correctly from the British Army,and Applied it correctly on both Ugandans and foreigners.i advice u guys leave Africa alone else u Risk Training à second idi amin !!!!

  • Lets see.... Morality is an equation. More were killed by Johnson in Vietnam than Amin in Uganda in the 70s, therefore America is more guilty than Africa. Therefore whites are worse than blacks and should feel bad. Thats why Obama is president because white people know they are wrong.

    (I have a degree in syllogisms) If you think like this do us a favor and jump off a bridge, but make sure its more than 100 meters.

  • damn i would hate to look like him. hahah he is one UGLY motherfucker!

  • did he never heard about kondom?

  • well condoms were useless at that time unlike you have to use one for fear of AIDS and STDs

  • Fuck you

  • look up the word discernment. You might need it in the future.

  • his daughter is an idiot, he is a monster and thank goodness he died!! How can you say that he was good!!!? There must be something wrong with you!

  • stacier333,

    It was her father...she knew a different side of him. It is not like he was murdering people while he was hanging out with his kids. I think that she was refering to him being a good person as far as she knew him.

  • If my dad ever did that I would say he is a monster. I am saying she is ignorant because he has no heart. I get what you are saying, but how can you view your dad as a man when he kills people like that? He is no man he is a winni!!!

  • who killed more idi amin or america in Vietnam?

  • who knows the title of the song playing in 1:16 ??

  • Lol, That song is so catchy!

  • the white guy in the black leather jacket looks like Christopher Walken. XD

  • like they really wanted to beat idi in the swimming race....lol

  • pierre666, devils number u have as name.what do u know about amins family? u want to tell me that some of his children did not know what their sick dad did to his country?shot d crap if u dont have better tins to say, dont bother to reply

  • wow man can't you see how they were victimized? his sons, which there were like 20 of by the way, couldn't have left if they wanted. and he may be defending his dad, but you have to admit what he said was right

  • his son is defending his fucky father. may his fathers sins be upon his head. i think he is gonna be worst than his sick dad. the gene is over him.fuck u all amins family

  • i admit that what amin did was wrong, but im guessing you know nothing of his family. they had no part in his massacres and are completly different people. they probably trying to get over the harrasment from people like you. think about what you post

  • indeed a great man, he is. noone can top him, noone!

  • just like many african leader, he was corruct, brutal, ignorant and uncivilised.

  • lol ..the beginning just cracked me up...one of the interesting mofos i ever heard of..idi idi idi amin even the tupac's outlaws got a name off idi idi....haha ,,,idi amin .i saw some shyt wen he said the united states gona have a black president haha...prophet idi dada,,,

  • Comment removed

  • Amin gain the name Dada while he was working as prison warden in Kenyan prison. dada meaning sister, he used to refer all women he brought to the warden quarters as " dada yangu" as the way to conceal relationships because the only female you were allowed to bring to the quarters was either your mom or your sister so dada was not a British title.

  • The British helped Idi Amin to overthrow Milton Obote after Obote embraced socialism.

  • what the hell are you talking about rkingman

  • Forrest Whittaker doesn't look or sound a thing like the real Idi Amin.

  • Give thanks for Elijah giving his power/mantle to Elisha which was a double potion of the spirit of Elijah Marcus Garvey esoterically link to Idi Amin DADA and the OLmecs the God of war

  • "They gave him too much leash"... Well I guess we know how he was viewed by the Brits.
