I can't control my tears.
Dictator Idi Amin dies
Former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin has died in exile in Saudi Arabia.
He had been in hospital in Jeddah, on a life-support machine, since July 18.
He was in a coma and suffering from high blood pressure when he was admitted to the King Faisal Specialist hospital. Staff said he suffered kidney failure.
Human rights groups say as many as 500,000 people were killed during Amin's 1971-1979 brutal rule.
Ugandan officials say Amin was 80, though other sources had him born in 1925.
During his eight year regime, he ordered the execution of hundreds of thousands of Ugandans from rival tribes.
He expelled the country's 50,000 Indians and Pakistanis and dramatically increased the size of the army, giving military tribunals preference over civil law.
Amin was forced from Uganda in 1979, fled to Libya, then Iraq and finally Saudi Arabia, where he was allowed to settle provided he stayed out of politics.
A one-time heavyweight boxing champion and soldier in the British colonial army, Amin seized power on January 25, 1971, overthrowing President Milton Obote while Obote was abroad.
