DP urges dialogue over Idi Amin's legacy

“Despite all the atrocities Amin committed, the fact remains that he served as President for eight years and that cannot be disputed. Therefore, describing his reign as illegal and unconstitutional is not right,” Kirya said.

Amin (RIP) took power in 1971, having deposed Apollo Milton Obote and led till 1979 when he went into exile.
