This undated file photo shows Uganda's then President Idi Amin Dada. Amin, who took power by force in Uganda in 1971 and ruled until he was removed by armed groups of exiles in 1979, died in Saudi Arabia in 2003. His passing was barely acknowledged in Uganda, and some of Amin's supporters over the years have unsuccessfully lobbied for his remains to be returned home, underscoring his tainted legacy.
