13. Idi Amin (Uganda)
Idi Amin’s rule in Uganda (1971-1979) was marked by brutal repression and widespread human rights abuses. His regime targeted ethnic groups such as the Acholi and Langi, resulting in thousands of deaths. In 1972, Amin expelled approximately 80,000 Asians, primarily of Indian descent, leading to economic decline and international condemnation (monitor.co.ug). His support for Palestinian militants and erratic policies further isolated Uganda, culminating in his ousting by Tanzanian forces in 1979.
