Part 3/8:
President Amin's sudden decision to expel approximately 80,000 Asians, most of whom hold British passports, appears to be a stark maneuver against a community that many Ugandans view as an economic threat. Claiming this move is ultimately beneficial for Uganda’s economic sovereignty, Amin insists he is executing what he believes to be imperative for true independence. He maintains that the withdrawal of Asians from Uganda is necessary for Afrikaans to appropriately take up business and commercial roles within their own country.
