{{Quote|Field Marshal Idi Amin became President of Uganda in 1971. To the rest of the world, he was a showman whose extravagance was matched only by his talent for comic buffoonery. But behind the grinning face was a calculating monster who brought a tragedy of monumental proportions. He slaughtered thousands of innocent Ugandans in a campaign of ethnic cleansing and executed his enemies live on television. He mutilated his wife and murdered his ministers, keeping their heads in his fridge as a warning to others. He ordered his secret police to torture and kill using sledgehammers while Amin kept the pictures for his own sick amusement. By the end of his reign, over 300,000 people had been murdered by Amin. He had turned the prosperous country of Uganda into a disease ridden backwater, its rivers choked with the corpses of his victims.|Introduction to a Discovery Channel documentary about Idi Amin}} | {{Quote|Field Marshal Idi Amin became President of Uganda in 1971.
