The Hidden History of Idi Amin and How British And Israel Created A monster | LNN

Idi Amin Dada. To some, he was the Butcher of Uganda. To others, he was the man who stood up to Britain, mocked Israel, and dared to defy the West. But who was the real Amin? A madman, a monster, or a creation of empire itself?

In this episode, we strip away the headlines, the propaganda, and the myths to uncover the untold story:
• How Britain and Israel trained, armed, and celebrated Amin before turning against him.
• Why the Asian expulsion shook Uganda — and reshaped Britain forever.
• The truth behind the infamous death tolls, “cannibal” rumors, and propaganda campaigns.
• The hidden role of Obote, Gaddafi, Saudi Arabia, and Cold War politics in shaping Amin’s rise and fall.
• And why Amin’s story is not just about one man — but about the system that built him, used him, and abandoned him.

This is not the Western version.
This is not his enemies’ story.
This is us trying to learn, unlearn, and relearn the truth.
