The Fall of Kampala and Idi Amin's Escape
The fall of Kampala in April 1979 marked the final collapse of Idi Amin’s brutal regime, which had ruled Uganda with an iron fist for eight years. This event was the culmination of months of military engagement between the Ugandan government forces and a coalition of Tanzanian soldiers and Ugandan exiles, who sought to overthrow Amin. The conflict led to a significant moment in Uganda's history, as the dictator was forced to flee the capital and eventually the country. The fall of Kampala was chaotic, marked by heavy shelling, military defections, looting, and Amin’s dramatic escape to Libya.
Origins of the War
The Uganda-Tanzania War, which led to the fall of Kampala, began in October 1978 when Amin made the ill-fated decision to invade the Kagera Salient, a strip of land in northern Tanzania. This invasion was both irrational and provocative, given Uganda’s weakening military position and economic deterioration at the time. Amin justified his invasion by falsely claiming that Tanzanian forces had crossed into Ugandan territory, which was not the case.
