1/ A thread: More Context on the 1975 OAU meeting in Kampala and Idi Amin's relationship with Tanzania-- The Tanzanian protest of this meeting/ Idi Amin goes back to the beginning of Idi Amin’s regime and some pretty interesting diplomatic history.
2/ On January 25, 1971, General Idi Amin seized power from then President of Uganda, Dr. Milton Obote. Obote similarly to Nyerere was a left-leaning Pan Africanist leader of the era.
