Although Idi Amin promised to end political corruption, and bring stability to Uganda; during his decade long rule, he did neither.

Was Colonialism Good for Uganda? Introduction The past is another country, where it is only possible to go as a tourist, and which we will never fully understand. We can describe what we see, but it is far more difficult to know why people acted in the way they did, or what they believed, and why they believed it.
