Idi Amin: The Expulsion of South Asians from Uganda
Since Idi Amin did not write an autobiography, research on his background is limited. Amin was born in 1923 in either Koboko or Kampala. A researcher from Maker

I would venture that no one here has ever heard of how Idi Amin, the dictator of Uganda, conducted race warfare within his own country by expelling Indians/Asians from his country. For you see, that minority ran most of the businesses in Uganda.
Idi Amin claimed that God spoke to him in a dream, saying South Asians were responsible for exploiting the indigenous citizens of Uganda. Amin also accused them of sabotaging Uganda’s economy and encouraging corruption. It has also been suggested that Amin was plotting vengeance against the British government due to their refusal to provide him with arms so he could invade Tanzania. Many of the expellees were citizens of the United Kingdom and its colonies, so emigrated to there. The other refugees settled in Canada, India, the nearby Kenya, and other Commonwealth countries
Chilling since it mirrors how the Left are targeting Asians and Whites once again for exploiting blacks in the US today as well.
Of course, once the Asians were expelled their economy collapsed.
Then to deflect criticism, Idi Amin started a war. Sounds like the DNC today
This is similar to what happened in Spain once that government expelled Jews who tended to run businesses and were socio-economically well to do.
The 1492 Expulsion of the Jews Was a Disaster for Spain

Then once they were expelled for being economically successful, in comparison to the rest of the Spaniards, the economy collapsed as well.
The Expulsion of the Jews was a disaster for Spain, psychologically, intellectually and economically. It boosted the legitimacy of the Spanish Inquisition, whose stifling effect would be felt by the society until the 19th century. It also stripped 2% of Spain’s most urbane, educated and affluent inhabitants. At a time when Europe’s economy was shifting from agrarian to industrial, Spain could not afford this loss. The effect was compounded when the Spanish Inquisition managed to have 300,000 Muslims expelled a century later. Such a massive exodus would be an enormous loss for any country at the time – but especially for Spain, which was only a third the size of France.
So what can we learn from all this? Nothing apparently. Today government tries to make all races equal by demanding they all can do the same things.
Government never learns and academia refuses to teach us.
