In August 1972, Uganda's dictator Idi Amin issued a chilling ultimatum. He gave the country’s Asian population just 90 days to leave. No hearings, no negotiations, no appeals. Seventy thousand people, many of them Ugandan citizens, were suddenly unwanted in the only home they had ever known.

What followed wasn’t just an expulsion. It was organized theft, driven by racism and hunger for power. Businesses were seized, families torn apart, and Uganda’s economy was gutted from within. Amin claimed it was about patriotism, about giving the country back to its people. But the truth was far uglier.

In this episode, we look at the story behind those 90 days. We’ll explore how Uganda's Asian community became a target, what really motivated the purge, and the lasting damage it left behind. It’s a story of betrayal, loss, and survival, and one that still echoes across generations.
