Amin follows footsteps,prof says
9
By KERRY KELLY
Staff Reporter
Whether he is known as Big Daddy, another Hitler or the wild man of Africa, he has propelled himself into international attention.
President Field Marshal Idi Amin Dada of Uganda has, in the six years of his dictatorial rule, become internationally known for his threatening and deadly actions.
At 6 feet and 300 pounds, he rules Uganda with the help of armed forces and security police. As the leader of a small alliance of self-proclaimed oppressed and toyed with international crimes.
To understand Amin, you have to understand his past. Jacob Gordon, associate director of the Center for Jewish Studies,
GORDON WAS BASED in Nigeria and tries to return every two years to research at the University.
"One has to look at the roots of people to see how they behave," he said. "What kind of image is he trying to emulate in his own life? My suggestion is that of Kabaka Metusa."
Kabaka Metua was an authoritarian Ugandan king in the 19th century. Under his rule, one person was killed or tortured and another was shot by his personal amusement, Gordon said.
"On occasions when Kabaka invited people to come to his house," Gordon said, "if they didn't stand erect and look at his face, they were tortured or killed.
"I WOULD CALL Amin the Kabaka of the 20th century. It seems to me that idi Amin is following the footprints of Kabaka in keeping with the traditions here a kind of savage garden of Eden."
that many people had died but wasn't sure of the number;
"If we characterize Idi Amin as the Kabaka of the 20th century, then I think the figures could be reasonable," he said. "He might be looking back to try to recapture that strength, that quality, that power that Kabaka had over his people.
"DO GO THAT in the 20th century is not quite the same as in the 19th century and so on."
Gordon said, "He controls the government but not without the support of very close military people—otherwise the government would have fallen by now.
Amin seized control of Uganda in a 1971 military coup. At first, Amin promised free speech and freedom from the rule.
"He was a very strong military man so he knows all the tactics of the military and is able to use that skill to manipulate the armed forces."
ACCORDING TO Gordon, three years ago, Amin was viewed as a promising leader. He nationalized almost all incomes and increase the economic strength of Uganda.
"I think he was trying to establish a transition that would give his people power to determine their own destiny," he said. "To that extent I think he was doing a good job but in more recent times he has gone beyond that to quite an extreme."
Uganda was a British protectorate from 1894 until it became independent in 1962. It became the 25th independent nation in Africa.
"I think he is saying 'I am not a dependent
person.' I want that. I am free.
I can do anything that I want."
Gordon said that missionaries had had
"CHRISTIANITY may be looked on as an agent of colonialism," he said. "In fact, in many regions of Africa today Christianity has become a style of new colonialism."
problems in Uganda stemming from the colonial period.
"It's a brainwashing process which says 'forget about your indigenous religion, your religion is inferior. We want to Christianize you—to make you human beings.'
"For us to be telling the outside world that we are here to Christina you' is very different from what you're telling
It's not that Amin doesn't like Christians, said he, that he's objects to the Catholicism.
"My first reaction to American missionaries in Uganda is that they should come home and develop domestic missionary activities in the U.S." Gordon
HE SAID there was a need to redefine the law in Lebanon, but in Africa as a whole.
"The Christianizing role of missionaries of the 20th century has to change," he said. "I'm not saying that Idin Amiri's alleged rebellion against Islam is wrong, but I doubt that Christianity begins at home."
Americans living in Uganda, mostly missionaries, recently were forbidden to leave the country and were called to a court. The courts denied permission. None of the Americans was harmed.
Americans aren't the only people who admit they've been brainwashed by Britons refused for a period to allow Britons to leave the country. He also expelled 55,000 Indians and Pakistanis from Uganda in 1982.
GORDON SAID expulsion of foreigners in the region, within their movements, within the United States.
damaged Uganda's image abroad. Within Africa, opinions aboutUGanda and Amin are divided, he said, but some African leaders must mind because of his firm decision making.
"But I think most African leaders support respect for human dignity, human freedom and justice," he said. "Apparently, Idi was more supportive than not see African nations supporting him."
According to Gordon, the value of Ugandan money has dropped greatly since Amin took power. Imports have increased and exports are almost nonexistent. He said that Uganda's economy is still dependent because the staples in their diets—bananas, corn and millet—were still plentiful.
Although Uganda became a republic in 1862, Gordon said, it won't be a democracy until its people are educated. The rate of illiteracy is $0 per cent.
"When you talk about a democratic government you have got to talk about empathy."
"Until there is mass education, until the people become sensitive to the Amirns and become more aware of what it is to have someone who knows you well." Like kabaka, will live for quite a while."
