Idi Amin
Former Ugandan leader Idi Amin had died in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah.
Up to 400,000 people are estimated to have died during his presidency from 1971-79, and a whole generation of Ugandan intellectuals were either killed or fled into exile.
Under Mr Amin, Asians who dominated business in Uganda were given 90 days to leave the country, and their property was confiscated as he embarked on a programme to Africanise the economy.
He was ousted by Tanzanian troops and Ugandan exiles in 1979.
