Discovery Channel, The Most Evil Men in History - Idi Amin (1/2)

Idi Amin Dada (c.1925 -- 16 August 2003) was a military leader and President of Uganda from 1971 to 1979. Amin joined the British colonial regiment, the King's African Rifles, in 1946, and eventually held the rank of Major General and Commander of the Ugandan Army prior to taking power in the military coup of January 1971, deposing Milton Obote. He later promoted himself to Field Marshal while he was the head of state.

Amin's rule was characterized by human rights abuse, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. The number of people killed as a result of his regime is estimated by international observers and human rights groups to range from 100,000 to 500,000. During his years in power, Amin was backed by Libya's Muammar al-Gaddafi as well as the Soviet Union and East Germany.

Another evil man was Mobutu, the leader of Kongo between 1965 and 1997. Mobutu was supported by the western nations because of his anticommunism. His nationalist regime murdered 165.000 people. Idi Amin was supported by the stalinists and left-wing nationalists, while Mobutu got support from ´democratic´ nations.

Mobutu another evil men.
