From the Observer - August 20th 1972. How the Ugandan Asians were steeped in British culture & history, yet they met racism by some on their arrival. #UgandanAsians

16th of September 1972. This headline in the Telegraph on that day. Then this: “An appeal to expelled immigrants (Ugandan Asians), to stay away from Leicester has been made in large advertisements inserted into a leading Ugandan newspaper by Leicester’s Labour administration”.

Guardian column - 2nd Sept 1983, from the excellent Manzoor Moghal. Note: The British intelligence network in Uganda had knowledge of Amin’s coup plot but failed to inform Milton Obote, the leader of Uganda at the time, because he was seen to lurch to the political left.
