IDI AMIN 1987 Trading Card PIEDMONT CANDY COMPANY Terrorist Attack Series

Description: This is a 1987 A SADISTIC RITUAL Trading Card from the PIEDMONT CANDY COMPANY. Bizarre stories about Idi Amin, the deposed dictator of Uganda. Amin is considered one of the most colorful, illogical and cruel leaders of the twentieth century. Rising to power with a military group in an African nation torn by economic and tribal strife, he quickly replaced key government officials with unqualified henchmen loyal only to himself. The end result was an unresponsive and inefficient political organization that did little but plunder the wealth of his nation. Once firmly in power, he played out many of his sadistic fantasies. It is reported that he kept entire rooms filled with the body parts of political opponents. Crocodile populations increased in the Capital due to the large numbers of bodies found in its rivers. Often he drank human blood - sometimes directly out of the arms of donors. The fear he created was immense. Often he would participate in basketball games where no one could score points but himself. Similarly, he set up boxing matches which he understandably never lost. Once he offered to become King of Scotland and was reportedly disappointed when the request never materialized. By 1979, the economic and social fabric of Uganda was virtually destroyed. It is estimated that he was responsible for the deaths of as many as a million Ugandians, with many more fleeing the country. Merci-fully, he left the country that year after a coup. Idi Amin Dada Oumee 30 May 1928 – 16 August 2003) was a Ugandan military officer and politician who served as the third president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979. He ruled as a military dictator and is considered one of the most brutal despots in modern world history. In July 1975, Amin staged a Β£2 million wedding to 19-year-old Sarah Kyolaba, a go-go dancer with the Revolutionary Suicide Mechanised Regiment Band, nicknamed "Suicide Sarah". On 19 July 2003, Amin's fourth wife, Nalongo Madina, reported that he was in a coma and near death at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from kidney failure. She pleaded with the Ugandan president, Yoweri Museveni, to allow him to return to Uganda for the remainder of his life. Museveni replied that Amin would have to "answer for his sins the moment he was brought back". Amin's family eventually decided to disconnect life support and Amin consequently died at the hospital in Jeddah on 16 August 2003. He was buried in Ruwais Cemetery in Jeddah in a simple grave, without any fanfare. After Amin's death, David Owen revealed that during his term as the British Foreign Secretary (1977 to 1979), he had proposed having Amin assassinated. He has defended this, arguing: "I'm not ashamed of considering it, because his regime goes down in the scale of Pol Pot as one of the worst of all African regimes ITEM is in VERY GOOD Condition.
