"We have seen one group getting rid of another, only for it to turn out to be worse than the group it displaced.” – President Museveni in 1986 discussing the so-called "Liberators", whom he was part of, that fought Idi Amin. This was during his "Fundamental change" speech.
Indeed the "liberators" led by Apollo Milton Obote, brought bloodshed and tyranny resulting in 1 million deaths and total economic chaos for a whole decade after Idi Amin. A British researcher specializing on Uganda said "If you thought Uganda under Idi Amin was bad, what came after was total chaos and breakdown of the country. From institutions and infrastructure to the entire economy and social fabric. Looting, extra-judicial arrests and killings were the order of the day. So are these criminals worth hero status after all the suffering they caused Ugandans? Why are they being awarded glorifying honors today? Their medals should be cancelled for they totally dishonor the 1 million Ugandans who were killed, raped, tortured and jailed under appalling conditions by Obote & co, whose acts of gruesome murders after Amin had left, seem to be ideologically protected today from criminal justice. -- Hussein Juruga Lumumba Amin Kampala, Uganda
