A bloodthirsty psychopath who ruled Uganda for 8 years, from 1971 to 1979. He seized
power in a coup by hiring assassins to
kill those in his way, gradually working up the line of succession. After he seized
power, he began killing his
army soldiers, as well as trying to deport Asian people.
A year or so after he gained power, he began killing thousands of tribe members. He would keep some of the people'
s heads in his refrigerator, and they would often feed people to crocodiles. At the height of his presidency,
50 people were thrown into a river each
day.
He ended up getting his ass kicked when the military became loyal to his vice president. He escaped to Saudi Arabia, and then lived out the rest of his days in Libya.
His kill count is estimated at 500,000.
