Uganda's Vice Presidents over the years: Mustafa Adrisi

As the Ugandan war effort collapsed, Adrisi fled to Sudan where he claimed to retain the post of Vice President.

General Mustafa Adrisi was Vice President of Uganda from 1977 to 1978 and one of President Idi Amin's closest associates. In 1978, after Adrisi was injured in a suspicious auto accident, troops loyal to him mutinied.

Amin sent troops against the mutineers, some of whom had fled across the Tanzanian border, eventually leading to the Uganda-Tanzania War.

As the Ugandan war effort collapsed, Adrisi fled to Sudan where he claimed to retain the post of Vice President.

 

 

In the late 1990s, Mustafa Adrisi was living quietly in Arua, West Nile, in a house provided by the NRM government, and had gone back to complete his primary school certificate. He died in 2013.
