Ed Amin Uganda idin was a brutal dictator one of the worst of the last 100 years fearing arrest for corruption. Ugandan General Ed Amin took power in 197 71 through a violent military coup.

Saddam Hussein Iraq:
Saddam Hussein had a certain straightforward brutal efficiency as he propelled himself towards absolute control of Iraq within AEK of taking power Iraqi president. Saddam Hussein arrested and massacred all his Rivals within the bath party it was a horrific foreshadowing of the next two bloody decades. Hussein invaded Iran and later Kuwait which ultimately devastated his own economy the Iran Iraq War lasted for eight years and cost hundreds of thousands of lives thing that has been avoided is the links that he had with the United States the pictures of him in Rumsfeld. I think there and the Americans armed him backed him when he was overthrown despite these failures. He maintained power through horrific repression and violence. He brutalized and slaughtered Shia and Kurdish minorities killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians. Hussein remained in power until the 2003 invasion of Iraq he was executed 2 years later we never thought that Saddam would be removed never so when I saw them I felt hope.
