Idi Amin Dada was the President of Uganda. During Idi Amin Dada's presidency, there was an increase in sectarian violence, including the persecution of the Acholi, Lango, Indian and other ethnic groups, as well as Hindus and Christians in Uganda.

The death toll during Amin's regime will never be accurately known. An estimate from the International Commission of Jurists is that it was not less than 80,000 and more likely around 300,000.

The political career of Idi Amin inspired a Hollywood movie, The Last King of Scotland.
