<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 33839, member: 1824&quot;]I have got 2 Ugandan banknotes that have the portrait of Idi Amin on them.He was a real fruitcake who awarded himself the Victoria Cross,</p><p>called himself &#039;King of Scotland&#039; &amp; &#039;Conqueror of the British Empire&#039;.They are a 5/- &amp; a 100/-.I haven&#039;t yet got any depicting Milton Obote,who was the Prime Minister who ordered Idi Amin to overthrow the constitutionally-minded &amp; very popular President,Kabaka Mutesa II of Buganda in 1966.While Milton Obote was attending the British Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 1971,Idi Amin led a coup</p><p>&amp; ousted Obote.Idi Amin was responsible for expelling the Ugandan Asians</p><p>to Great Britain &amp; seizing their businesses.He had a lot of his opponents murdered.He can be regerded as being the East African equivilant of Robert Mugabe.He was overthrown in 1979 &amp; ended up dying in Saudi Arabia &amp; is now burning up in the Lake of Fire in Hell along with Adolf Hitler &amp; Benito Mussolini.Obote later served a brief second term as President,but he was overthrown again,as Obote remains very unpopular with the fanatically Royalist Baganda.The Ugandan Kingdoms were restored in 1993.Kabaka Ronald Mutebi (or King Ronnie,as he is affectionately known</p><p>as) is the current Kabaka.Kabaka Mutesa II was affectionately known as </p><p>&#039;King Freddie&#039;,as Mutesa II&#039;s first name was Frederick.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have any non-Axis of Evil coins &amp; notes depicting dictators,please can you post your information about them here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
