1972 expulsion of Indians by Idi Amin

In early August 1972, the President of Uganda Idi Amin ordered the expulsion of his country's Indian minority, giving them 90 days to leave the country. At the time, South Asians in East Africa were simply known as "Asians". Having first arrived in the late 1800s as migrant laborers to build the Uganda Railway, they would go on to dominate trade in the country.
