There have been many dictators in history, but there are some names whose mention gives goosebumps. Idi Amin, the ruler of the African country Uganda, was one of them. His cruelty was so horrific that he came to be called the Mad Man of Africa. While in power, he not only tortured the people of his own country but also crossed all limits of humanity.

Idi Amin came to power in Uganda through a military coup in 1971. One year after assuming power, he suddenly issued a strange decree. In August 1972, he claimed to have received orders from God in a dream to expel people of Asian origin from Uganda. He gave only 90 days time to the people of Indian origin. Anyone who did not go was threatened with jail or death. About 90 thousand Indians had to leave the country leaving everything behind. These were the same people who were considered the backbone of Uganda’s economy. With his departure the economic condition of the country completely collapsed.

Eight years of power, a reign of blood and fear

Idi Amin’s rule lasted only eight years, but during this time there was a shadow of fear and death in Uganda. According to BBC report, more than two lakh people were killed during his reign. Opponents were taken away without trial and never returned. It is said that Idi Amin liked to be with dead people. He kept the severed heads of many leaders in his house and after seeing them, discussions came to the fore. His atrocities were so inhumane that even today historians are afraid to describe them in words.

Nile River becomes witness of death

Idi Amin described disabled people as a burden on society and ordered thousands of them to be thrown into the Nile River. People were thrown alive into a river full of crocodiles. After the end of his rule, mass graves, decomposed corpses and blood-soaked areas were found in Uganda, which shocked the whole world.

From being an illiterate soldier to becoming the President

Idi Amin was born in 1925 in Koboko area of ​​Uganda. He had studied only till fourth class. Initially he was a cook in the British Army, later became a soldier. On the basis of his physical strength, he earned fame in boxing and sports and climbed up the ranks rapidly in the army. In 1971, he removed the then President Milton Obote and declared himself the President of the country. From here the darkest chapter in Uganda’s history began.

Enmity with neighboring countries and decline

Idi Amin acquired enmity with many neighboring countries including Tanzania. Due to his aggressive policies, Uganda became isolated at the international level. Ultimately the Tanzanian army and rebel groups together ousted him from power. Although his rule ended, the stories of his brutality are still counted among the most horrifying chapters of the world.

After the confirmation of the kidnapping of five Indian citizens in the West African country Mali, the Government of India and the Indian Embassy have started immediate efforts for their safe release. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Monday that the Indian Embassy in Bamako is in constant touch with the Mali authorities and the concerned company. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, the incident took place on 6 November 2025 in an area that has seen several attacks and kidnappings by armed groups in the last few years.

Constant contact and efforts
Officials in New Delhi said that the Indian Embassy is in constant touch with Mali’s security agencies and the company where these Indians were working. MEA Headquarters is also coordinating with other foreign missions and international partners to understand the security situation in the region. The ministry said that ‘all necessary efforts are being made for their release and the situation is being constantly monitored.’

Mali is struggling with instability
Mali is one of the most unstable countries in West Africa. The situation here has worsened due to several military coups and increasing activities of jihadi groups linked to Al-Qaeda and Islamic State. Kidnappings of foreign workers are particularly common in the central and northern parts of Mali, as government control is very weak in these areas.

US lawmakers have appealed to President Donald Trump to reconsider his order regarding H1-B visa, which includes a huge fee of US $ 1,00,000. The lawmakers said Indian citizens are at the center of America’s leadership in information technology (IT) and artificial intelligence (AI) and such restrictive policies will negatively impact relations between the US and India.

US House of Representatives member Jimmy Panetta as well as Congress members Ami Bera, Salud Carbajal and Julie Johnson wrote a letter to Donald Trump on Thursday (October 30, 2025). Lawmakers expressed concern over Trump’s announcement to “restrict the entry of certain nonimmigrant workers” to the H1-B visa program, which imposes a US$100,000 fee on new applications, among other restrictions.

‘You should postpone the announcement of September 19’

They said, “As members of the delegation that recently visited India, we understand the importance of the H-1B program not only to the US economy, national security and competitive advantage, but also to the relations between the Indian-American communities.” The lawmakers said in the letter, ‘We respectfully request you to postpone the September 19 announcement and reconsider any policy that undermines fair access to the H-1B program.’

What did you say by referring to China?

He said that at a time when China is aggressively investing in artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies. The United States must continue to attract the world’s best talent to sustain its innovation ecosystem, strengthen its defense industrial base, and maintain its long-term competitive edge.

“In the case of India, which was the country of origin for 71 percent of H-1B holders last year, attracting this talent also strengthens our strategic partnership with a major democratic partner in the Indo-Pacific region,” he said.

The month of August 2025 has proved to be full of difficulties for Indian students. The US administration has issued fewer student visas this month, which is considered much less than last year. According to news agency AFP, America issued a total of 3,13,138 student visas in August 2025, which is 19.1% less than in August 2024.

Indians have suffered the most due to this visa cut. There was a decline of about 44.5% in visas given to Indian students. This decline comes after the Trump administration’s recent decision to limit the duration of student and other visa categories.

Twice as many students from China got American visas

America has given visas to 86,647 Chinese students. This number is more than double the visas issued to Indian students. However, according to the report, India was on top in terms of foreign students in America in 2024, so this decline is a matter of concern not only for Indian students but also for American universities.

Trump administration’s strict visa policy

US President Donald Trump had announced the adoption of a strict immigration policy. In this context, the proposal to limit the duration of F-1 visa for international students in August was part of this policy. The reasoning behind this decision was that the number of foreign students in America is increasing very rapidly, due to which local students may suffer losses. However, education sector experts believe that this step could lead to a huge reduction in revenue for American universities, because students coming from India and China pay hefty fees.

Biggest impact on Indian students

India has always been ahead in the list of people receiving higher education in America. However, this time due to the policies of the Trump administration, there was a 45% decline in visa allocation for Indian students, while for Chinese students the decline was only around 10-12%. This has caused a wave of concern among Indian students. Many students who had already submitted applications are now being called for additional documents or interviews. Many universities have also said that due to this policy, there is a record decline in the number of new students coming from India.

Signs of crisis on H-1B visa also

Along with the decline in student visas, the Trump administration is also eyeing the H-1B visa. Recently the government announced that American companies will have to pay a fee of up to $1,00,000 for every new H-1B visa applicant. This decision can prove to be a big blow for Indian professionals working in the technical and IT sector. For this reason, companies like Amazon, Meta and JP Morgan had instructed their Indian employees to return to America before September 21. However, later the administration clarified that this rule will apply only to new visa applications.
