The natives could not do this because they lacked the commerce culture not because they were inept.

In sharp contrast Uganda was a paradise of nature, there were fruit trees every where people had not seen hard times or famines, they did not have a history of hard times passed down through generations.

@@jeffmorse645 To find out what the point of your comment was of course! As you know, the internet is teeming with foreign media and individuals keen on offloading their favourite Africa-based horror story.
Most of the African cities names sounds like Indian names ,, Kampala is one example ,, may be there was strong cultural link some where in distant past ( long long ago nobody knows how long ago) - All the best Uganda - terrain is so beautiful 🙏
@Saskia get your facts right.Amin will be the best president,he did alot,All the ill talk about him was cos he wanted to conquer Europe lol..our president had big dreams
He did have a lot of support, but I suppose at least some of it was out of fear for a mad African dictator, trust me no way you want to confront or challenge a dictator of any form
Things like business skills, political skills, etc... are cultural stuff. They seem to be passed on from parent to child for generations. When Indians do business better in other countries, it shouldn't be a problem. What the government should do is to find ways their people could do as good as them!
Amin kicked out the Asians which was a terrible ordeal for them, but they got the last laugh because after their departure Uganda's economy collapsed and the country severely suffered. He who laughs last laughs best.
Uganda got oil, gold etc now. Who will laugh last? Indian were restricted to towns and never ventured outside. It was Britain and Israeli who brought Amin in and when Amin and Gadaffi got close, the duo turned on him and blockaded Ugandan economy. In 1930s world recession, Uganda never felt the effect because the natives grew and ate their crops.
Ia shilluk collo - Exchange rates mean nothing as the world economy grown since 1975 - the average house in the UK was £10,000 then and now it's £210,000. IDI Amin ruined Uganda just as Mugabe did to Zimbabwe and the ANC are doing to SA - Tribal hatred is rampant in Africa along with corruption and injustice such a shame and such a waste.
When the Brits administered the place, they brought in Asians as laborers for building the railways, and among those who came were some who had experience as shop owners. As they started their own businesses, they filled a void in the economy, as the locals had no such acumen, and everyone benefited. As in Kenya, where the Mau Maus destroyed a vibrant economy simply because of their envy of the accomplishments of the European managers, in Uganda, Amin played upon this black envy to chase out the Asians, with whom he had no affiliations, in order to consolidate his rule; an impoverished former colony was the result. This is the pattern with all African-dominated countries (Haiti included), but it's always blamed upon whites (even decades or centuries down the line) by those who are incapable of accepting responsibility for their own actions...
chokkan7 This is so stupid. So you can compare Kenyan economy now and 1950s again what did Mau Mau destroyed?. So freedom fighters destroyed economy?. You may wonder why one would choose to use his head as storage for the teeth and completely refuse to utilize the brain
Admittedly, I puzzled over this for some time, trying to divine some meaning from the unintelligible mishmash of poorly-grasped English, before I offered a response. If I understand you correctly, are you maintaining that the Mau-Maus harmed no one? If so, you are sorely mistaken, as they not only murdered pregnant English women, but they also targeted those natives who had no objections to the British presence. As to 'freedom fighters', I'm unsure what you mean. Is this your name for those agents of Communist China who drank a mix of blood and semen, then attacked unarmed civilians? If so, then I need to ask: of what use is your own skull, other than to harbor a few remaining teeth? As a receptacle for brains, it seems to have sprung a leak...
chokkan7 So murdering someone is destroying the economy?. You have no idea whatever you are talking about. Trying to compare kenya now and 1960s is bullshit. There is a thin line between ignorance and being utterly stupid and you are both. We celebrate mau mau as freedom fighters it doesn't who they killed. If you aren't a kenyan you shouldn't even be talking. For sure shit is supposed to come from your ass not your brain but reading your comments, there is no difference.
You have a facility for name calling, but not so much for making logical connections. If you disagree with any portion of my comment, why not make a rebuttal, rather than simply calling me names or telling me I don't have the right to make an observation? Personally, I'd rather have a civil discourse, as that's the way people learn and better themselves, but it's clear you can only rant incoherently; there's nothing I could hope to learn from someone like you. You don't even understand your own history...
chokkan7 I reply people based on their arguments. If you want to know how progressive kenya has been and how colonialists treated people. Read and research. If the kind of treatment during colonial days were still their you couldn't have seen many rich and middle class people in Kenya. Ooh and btw British worked this way A was Africans B was Indians and C Europeans based on racism and white superiority. Kenya is so good can't be compared to colonial days even if we have some problems. Technically all African countries are just good compared to oppression days. Lol try hard I know everything about Kenya.
Jamal Nasir ..Indians in Africa, Jews in Europe and America. Chinese in Asia....These are the entrepreneurs who build wealth for themselves, and their adopted countries.
Capitalism is when Ugandan's economy and farms were handed over to the Indians before their independence? The Ugandas economy is much better today, wonder why they don't show how Ugandans lived when under Indians..........
@@0601ac It will work in Africa if the corrupt governments let go of control of all industries. If Africa was to privatize everything, they will surely see better economies. Capitalism has many flaws as well but I am convinced it is the best system. India itself is a beneficiary of open markets when they opened up the country to private investments in the 1990s. Before that the Indian economy was even worse off than Pakistan but now they have overtaken things by 100 fold.
@@jamalnasir5648 haha you sound pretty confident. But you're full of shit. Doesnt work in Africa and has nothing to do with the leaders.

observation: Idi "The Butcher" ironically spent 35 years as an exiled "foreigner" himself in Arabia. He owned 12 Duncan Donuts, 15 poorly run hotels, 35 gas stations without courtesy washer fluid, countless 7-11's with locked public restrooms, had 20 relatives living in back in each place and had tacky diode lights around all store front doors and windows. Yet he targeted Indians? What was he afraid of?
@Reality Tube I live in the U.S. I'd like the whole world to get along. Amim met his fate when he tried to "take-over" Tanzania? African dictators are all on record for their brutal crimes in their home continent.
Americans depend on China to produce cheaper products most of their manufacturing is done in China, any country that developing depends on other countries for trade it is not a bad thing.
So true what he said, (and you have funding) the Africans are not given funding, most the returnee Asians are given funding to prosper by international banks including the world bank, not the Africans.
Who tf gives you fundings without any collateral ?? They create their own capitals and fundings from working hard and smart, while living below their means.
you create your own capital, no one is going to spoon feed you.. DO you think Asians are getting loans out of love? thry have built their capital and have a proven track record of building successful businesses, you cant say the same about most Africans
@@willywonkawhitecaneman Are you stupid, if you guys are so smart and enterprising why is that you are still the same where as the Asians that got kicked out with nothing are wealthy again... Reality hurts, you guys want some scape goat to blame for your inabilities
@@codelunatic This is just pure racism. They've been standing on the shoulders of their patrons since their first eviction. Homes and jobs given to them in the west then they're granted loans to return. Where is the opportunity for a Ugandan to prove their creditworthiness in all of this? What about existing Ugandan businesses? Don't they deserve a leg up too or must the most successful businesses in Uganda belong to foreign entities? Why weren't they granted loans to return to India? Isn't that their cultural homeland? Do they even have family in Uganda? There's something unethical about all of this.
To Kenian Dude- I am a white south african, I never thought african people stupid, if you dont live in a society that teach you you cannot learn, I helped at a church, the women wanted to learn cooking, a stuped girl that gave the cooking lessons, showed them how to make a marange for ice cream. When I started the class they were not friendly, I taught them how to make budget meals, that was healthy. Soon everyone gave me some recipe, they learn fast, are very friendly. We also had a male -he wanted to learn how to read and write- he was only there for the food, I helped him and after a year he knew the alphabet and slowly stared to read, that is not dumm, nobody think they are dumm they have very few oportunities, and everyone knows that.
Idi Amin expelled the Asians who rejected Ugandan citizenship but wanted to own businesses in Uganda. That's the part of the story they don't tell you.
its quite interesting how these indians say they were born in uganda, but when refering to black people they call them Africans!! if indeed they were born there then they would be Africans themselves.
If the Ugandians are not happy with this video so time comes to show the world that Africans are enough to do good and properous things for the Uganda and Africa. Please SHOW it. The world will LOVE to see it.
I'm in Toronto (Brampton) and there's high East Asian population, and I will agree, they are highly business minded. Yet, i'm on the fence with Idi Amin's decision to expel them.Because I agree there should be some-kind of cultural integration to a degree, but a 90 day evacuation? That's madness
Toronto is a dump because of all the non-Whites who live there. Toronto has one shooting a day. As for Idi Amin, yes - a longer timeline should have been given to allow them to leave.
indonesia did the same to the chinese. indonesia and uganda are muslim dominated countries, these type of incidents or catastropy happens in muslim countries only......A BIG WHY...
Indonesia was in trouble , not because kicking out the chinese peoples. But it was only because the America wanted to take Indonesian natural resources, thats why Indonesia has suffered decades of political instability. From 1965 to 1999.
Sad. Such a beautiful country. May the Asians help build schools and educate the locals. Help them become successful. Pay more taxes to help the country.
Idi Amin said they refused to integrate and were only using African wealth for themselves.. Indians and Arabs could not do to Uganda what they did to Trinidad and Fiji.....Let them leave .
Dog Heart "Idi Amin said they refused to integrate"..........now they are in europe and uk and still dont integrate. did you ever watch the film LAST KING OF SCOTLAND?........watch it
Dog Heart last time I checked the Indians are Trinidadian citizens and if it wasn't for their commercial sense the country would be an economic basket case.
Trinidad's first ever Women President is of Indian descent. If thats not integration, what is? Sunil Narine, Shiv Narayan ChandraPaul, Ravi Rampaul are famous Carribean Cricketers.
Can someone please assist with the title and artist of the song which is at the beginning of this video. I don't know what it means but it touches me a lot.
Gujaratis are successful wherever they go...even in India. Their success abroad is unique to their community. Not just Ugandans even in India their entrepreneurship is second to none
That decision is absolutely right...a nation should be run by people of it's own...the only thing you guys need is to educate yourselves how to rise up, teach every individual how to be responsible.. you actually don't need foreign for you to improve your lives
@@ajaymuj It will be an economic powerhouse, and so will many other African countries. We are not responsible for Asians, They should stay in Asia. If people come into our territory and we dont want them there, they are getting kicked out no matter who they are.

I clicked on this video to see how the actual Ugandans were getting on. I didn't click on this video to hear people harping on about the expulsion of the Asians from Uganda. You're perpetuating this attitude that the native Ugandans can't run the economy on their own, and they're begging the Indians to come back. Most recently, their economy has grown by 6%. I wanted to see if the people in poverty are able lift themselves into decent employment. I wanted to see if the average Ugandan is actually benefitting from the economic growth. I wanted to see if the legacy of what Idi Amin did is still present, and affecting the people who live in Uganda. I didn't click on the video to see this. Same old “Africans can't do anything without us.” propaganda. You shouldn't uplift the Asians by demonising the Africans. How is this attitude any different from Idi Amin's?
Britain and Israel damaged Uganda in revenge. Uganda is so fertile that the African does not have tp work hard to feed his family - it like paradise. not all Indians were well off when Amin expelled them. chuckwallas (shopkeepers) except for two sugarcane growing families who managed to swindle African lands with British connivance. KICK THEM OUT BUILD THAT WALL
Bubblegum Bitch .. this programme was done by Indian News channel you dumb bitch and quite clearly Africans couldn't run the country could they... I mean they took everything from the Asians..who were forced to leave and proceeded to run it into ground...all buildings left behind look in awful state ..the businesses were ran into the ground..
Ank it would make sense if y’all come and up all yo grandparents who claim they belong to Africa😅, they came to build the railroad but very sad to think Africa is their haven on earth 😂😂
India is a vast developing economy now with supreme military and nuclear capability. And now I understood why India is Kicking Africans (blacks) out of their country because they have this still in mind what Uganda Africans did to them
@@TheIrbe Well today Uganda not just controlling the economy like that but your previous president recalled Indian businesman back to boost the economy, don`t twist things around here my friend. African countries have lots of corruption and fighting going on at the moment but it`s the Indian soldiers who are there in vast numbers appointed by UN to provide the security etc. If African country wants to kick out Indians then its Africans loss not Indians, Indian economy is booming skyrocket, they have such superior military capability that they can finish the war in less than 2 hours against all the African nation combined.

Most of the African cities names sounds like Indian names ,, Kampala is one example ,, may be there was strong cultural link some where in distant past ( long long ago nobody knows how long ago) - All the best Uganda - terrain is so beautiful 🙏
Who is to say it isn't the other way around? 😏 After all, Africa is the cradle of human civilization?

The Indians were the business and financial backbone of Uganda and look at the bloody economic mess that ensued from that idiot Amin.

@Saskia get your facts right.Amin will be the best president,he did alot,All the ill talk about him was cos he wanted to conquer Europe lol..our president had big dreams

Idi Amin had a point, just that he addressed the whole issue the old school way.

"Due to the actions of one man" yeah, a very popular man with little resistance
little? huh? he met resistance trying to take over Tanzania. They exiled him remember? Amin was forced out of Arfica.
He did have a lot of support, but I suppose at least some of it was out of fear for a mad African dictator, trust me no way you want to confront or challenge a dictator of any form
Adolf Hitler?
@@itsruf1 tell them I think people forget
Things like business skills, political skills, etc... are cultural stuff.
They seem to be passed on from parent to child for generations. When Indians do business better in other countries, it shouldn't be a problem. What the government should do is to find ways their people could do as good as them!

Amin kicked out the Asians which was a terrible ordeal for them, but they got the last laugh because after their departure Uganda's economy collapsed and the country severely suffered. He who laughs last laughs best.
Uganda got oil, gold etc now. Who will laugh last? Indian were restricted to towns and never ventured outside. It was Britain and Israeli who brought Amin in and when Amin and Gadaffi got close, the duo turned on him and blockaded Ugandan economy. In 1930s world recession, Uganda never felt the effect because the natives grew and ate their crops.
By the way one can google historical currency exchange rates. Find what 1 UGX traded at 1975/6.
Ia shilluk collo - Exchange rates mean nothing as the world economy grown since 1975 - the average house in the UK was £10,000 then and now it's £210,000. IDI Amin ruined Uganda just as Mugabe did to Zimbabwe and the ANC are doing to SA - Tribal hatred is rampant in Africa along with corruption and injustice such a shame and such a waste.
Nobody gained, and nobody is laughing, somehow I think they were spared by a vision of their leader.

When the Brits administered the place, they brought in Asians as laborers for building the railways, and among those who came were some who had experience as shop owners. As they started their own businesses, they filled a void in the economy, as the locals had no such acumen, and everyone benefited. As in Kenya, where the Mau Maus destroyed a vibrant economy simply because of their envy of the accomplishments of the European managers, in Uganda, Amin played upon this black envy to chase out the Asians, with whom he had no affiliations, in order to consolidate his rule; an impoverished former colony was the result. This is the pattern with all African-dominated countries (Haiti included), but it's always blamed upon whites (even decades or centuries down the line) by those who are incapable of accepting responsibility for their own actions...
chokkan7 This is so stupid. So you can compare Kenyan economy now and 1950s again what did Mau Mau destroyed?. So freedom fighters destroyed economy?. You may wonder why one would choose to use his head as storage for the teeth and completely refuse to utilize the brain
Admittedly, I puzzled over this for some time, trying to divine some meaning from the unintelligible mishmash of poorly-grasped English, before I offered a response.
If I understand you correctly, are you maintaining that the Mau-Maus harmed no one? If so, you are sorely mistaken, as they not only murdered pregnant English women, but they also targeted those natives who had no objections to the British presence. As to 'freedom fighters', I'm unsure what you mean. Is this your name for those agents of Communist China who drank a mix of blood and semen, then attacked unarmed civilians? If so, then I need to ask: of what use is your own skull, other than to harbor a few remaining teeth? As a receptacle for brains, it seems to have sprung a leak...
chokkan7 So murdering someone is destroying the economy?. You have no idea whatever you are talking about. Trying to compare kenya now and 1960s is bullshit. There is a thin line between ignorance and being utterly stupid and you are both. We celebrate mau mau as freedom fighters it doesn't who they killed. If you aren't a kenyan you shouldn't even be talking. For sure shit is supposed to come from your ass not your brain but reading your comments, there is no difference.
You have a facility for name calling, but not so much for making logical connections. If you disagree with any portion of my comment, why not make a rebuttal, rather than simply calling me names or telling me I don't have the right to make an observation? Personally, I'd rather have a civil discourse, as that's the way people learn and better themselves, but it's clear you can only rant incoherently; there's nothing I could hope to learn from someone like you. You don't even understand your own history...
chokkan7 I reply people based on their arguments. If you want to know how progressive kenya has been and how colonialists treated people. Read and research. If the kind of treatment during colonial days were still their you couldn't have seen many rich and middle class people in Kenya. Ooh and btw British worked this way A was Africans B was Indians and C Europeans based on racism and white superiority. Kenya is so good can't be compared to colonial days even if we have some problems. Technically all African countries are just good compared to oppression days. Lol try hard I know everything about Kenya.
2013 is when I loved Uganda so much because I had joined University 💃👍
This is why government should never intervene with free enterprise. It never ends well. Capitalism is the only way to grow an economy
Jamal Nasir ..Indians in Africa, Jews in Europe and America. Chinese in Asia....These are the entrepreneurs who build wealth for themselves, and their adopted countries.
Capitalism is when Ugandan's economy and farms were handed over to the Indians before their independence? The Ugandas economy is much better today, wonder why they don't show how Ugandans lived when under Indians..........
In most parts of the world. Doesn't work in Africa.
@@0601ac It will work in Africa if the corrupt governments let go of control of all industries. If Africa was to privatize everything, they will surely see better economies. Capitalism has many flaws as well but I am convinced it is the best system. India itself is a beneficiary of open markets when they opened up the country to private investments in the 1990s. Before that the Indian economy was even worse off than Pakistan but now they have overtaken things by 100 fold.
@@jamalnasir5648 haha you sound pretty confident. But you're full of shit. Doesnt work in Africa and has nothing to do with the leaders. Most of the population will not benefit from the services becoming better, because they wont be able to afford them. There will be little incentive for companies to re invest in bettering services, or re investing locally.
Beautiful country.What would've become of Uganda without Amin ,I keep asking myself.....
My friend no need to worry of India as in India there are too
Many tribes and all leave as equals but you got start thinking of Chinese who can make us second class and New China
Top most economy among Kenya, and Tanzania. Kenya developed at experience of UGanda. How many lives we lost during Amin regime
I love my homeland🏁
observation: Idi "The Butcher" ironically spent 35 years as an exiled "foreigner" himself in Arabia. He owned 12 Duncan Donuts, 15 poorly run hotels, 35 gas stations without courtesy washer fluid, countless 7-11's with locked public restrooms, had 20 relatives living in back in each place and had tacky diode lights around all store front doors and windows. Yet he targeted Indians? What was he afraid of?
@Reality Tube I live in the U.S. I'd like the whole world to get along. Amim met his fate when he tried to "take-over" Tanzania? African dictators are all on record for their brutal crimes in their home continent.

Oh man Africa and the Africans are so beautiful.
So true what he said, (and you have funding) the Africans are not given funding, most the returnee Asians are given funding to prosper by international banks including the world bank, not the Africans.
That's very bad
Who tf gives you fundings without any collateral ?? They create their own capitals and fundings from working hard and smart, while living below their means.
you create your own capital, no one is going to spoon feed you.. DO you think Asians are getting loans out of love? thry have built their capital and have a proven track record of building successful businesses, you cant say the same about most Africans

@@codelunatic
This is just pure racism.
They've been standing on the shoulders of their patrons since their first eviction. Homes and jobs given to them in the west then they're granted loans to return. Where is the opportunity for a Ugandan to prove their creditworthiness in all of this? What about existing Ugandan businesses? Don't they deserve a leg up too or must the most successful businesses in Uganda belong to foreign entities?
Why weren't they granted loans to return to India? Isn't that their cultural homeland? Do they even have family in Uganda?
There's something unethical about all of this.
Amin was also expelled from his own country. Go figure.
Wishing Uganda all the success! Lots of love, from India❤🇮🇳!
To Kenian Dude- I am a white south african, I never thought african people stupid, if you dont live in a society that teach you you cannot learn, I helped at a church, the women wanted to learn cooking, a stuped girl that gave the cooking lessons, showed them how to make a marange for ice cream. When I started the class they were not friendly, I taught them how to make budget meals, that was healthy. Soon everyone gave me some recipe, they learn fast, are very friendly. We also had a male -he wanted to learn how to read and write- he was only there for the food, I helped him and after a year he knew the alphabet and slowly stared to read, that is not dumm, nobody think they are dumm they have very few oportunities, and everyone knows that.

Idi Amin expelled the Asians who rejected Ugandan citizenship but wanted to own businesses in Uganda. That's the part of the story they don't tell you.
This happend everywhere when Europeans left Africa. The blacks, and also asians weren't ready at all..
You don't know what you're talking about. The Asians built up the economy and we're then kicked out by Idi Amin.
Indian and African are actually brothers ..both are hard worker...best of luckl
its quite interesting how these indians say they were born in uganda, but when refering to black people they call them Africans!! if indeed they were born there then they would be Africans themselves.
If the Ugandians are not happy with this video so time comes to show the world that Africans are enough to do good and properous things for the Uganda and Africa. Please SHOW it. The world will LOVE to see it.
Instead of throwing away indians right thing to do was to ask indian businessman to give more job to Ugandans.. Throwing them away didnt helped anyone
Truth be told, all ethnic based businesses tend to favor their own. Be they Chinese, Arabic, Mormon, Jewish, etc.
Uganda.........love from India
Looks as messed up as it did four years ago, hopeless situation!
Ugandan is doing good
Where?
I'm in Toronto (Brampton) and there's high East Asian population, and I will agree, they are highly business minded. Yet, i'm on the fence with Idi Amin's decision to expel them.Because I agree there should be some-kind of cultural integration to a degree, but a 90 day evacuation? That's madness
Toronto is a dump because of all the non-Whites who live there. Toronto has one shooting a day. As for Idi Amin, yes - a longer timeline should have been given to allow them to leave.
Who came to find the way here
indonesia did the same to the chinese.
indonesia and uganda are muslim dominated countries,
these type of incidents or catastropy happens in muslim countries only......A BIG WHY...
The electric man 1 you are ignorant. When was The first Uganda a Muslim country
Indonesia was in trouble , not because kicking out the chinese peoples. But it was only because the America wanted to take Indonesian natural resources, thats why Indonesia has suffered decades of political instability. From 1965 to 1999.
So how come everything fell apart when the Asians left? I don’t understand
I am loving what I am seeing thank you
Sad. Such a beautiful country. May the Asians help build schools and educate the locals. Help them become successful. Pay more taxes to help the country.
Idi Amin said they refused to integrate and were only using African wealth for themselves.. Indians and Arabs could not do to Uganda what they did to Trinidad and Fiji.....Let them leave .
Dog Heart "Idi Amin said they refused to integrate"..........now they are in europe and uk and still dont integrate.
did you ever watch the film LAST KING OF SCOTLAND?........watch it
Dog Heart last time I checked the Indians are Trinidadian citizens and if it wasn't for their commercial sense the country would be an economic basket case.
They have just cashed in in south-africa, I think it is difficult to have people of other races arround you, better poor than enslaved.
Trinidad's first ever Women President is of Indian descent.
If thats not integration, what is?
Sunil Narine, Shiv Narayan ChandraPaul, Ravi Rampaul are famous Carribean Cricketers.

I clicked on this video to see how the actual Ugandans were getting on. I didn't click on this video to hear people harping on about the expulsion of the Asians from Uganda.
You're perpetuating this attitude that the native Ugandans can't run the economy on their own, and they're begging the Indians to come back. Most recently, their economy has grown by 6%. I wanted to see if the people in poverty are able lift themselves into decent employment. I wanted to see if the average Ugandan is actually benefitting from the economic growth. I wanted to see if the legacy of what Idi Amin did is still present, and affecting the people who live in Uganda. I didn't click on the video to see this. Same old “Africans can't do anything without us.” propaganda. You shouldn't uplift the Asians by demonising the Africans. How is this attitude any different from Idi Amin's?
Britain and Israel damaged Uganda in revenge. Uganda is so fertile that the African does not have tp work hard to feed his family - it like paradise. not all Indians were well off when Amin expelled them. chuckwallas (shopkeepers) except for two sugarcane growing families who managed to swindle African lands with British connivance.
