Yoweri Museveni

It doesn't matter if that's the slow boil by drones or the quicker boil by proxy forces.

It could be MEK in Iraq and Iran, Jandallah in Balochistan, al-Shabaab in Somalia, al-Nusra in Syria, or the foreign aid Rina governments, which work in the same way as the privateer model, such as al-Hadi in Yemen, Mubarak in Egypt, Museveni in Uganda, Paul Kagame in Rwanda, Sheikh Sharif in Somalia, al-Khalifa in Bahrain, and so on.

And of course, Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan.

The U.S. began its al-Qaeda Frankenstein back in the 80s by backing the Mujahideen and their mercenary special forces al-Qaeda, and then the Taliban in their civil war.

But at that time, he was a young leader who saw that we're not going to end the dictatorships unless there was an armed struggle that engaged people to fight and bring a new idea, a reconstruction of the state.

So that was Yoweri Museveni.

He approached me during those pe- that transitional period, and I listened to him and I said, "Well, you know what? You're making sense.

If indeed we don't get our chance to have a democratically elected government and you launch a people's war, I will join you." And he did.

South Asians controlled the majority of commerce in the country.

And Idi Amin, the president, wanted to reclaim indigenous control of the economy and put it into what he called described as Black African hands.

So this typology helps to organize the data and highlights that while many mass expulsions are driven by security concerns, those related to counter-irredentism, counter-subversion, reprisal, a significant portion of expulsions are motivated by economic concerns, those nativist expulsions, and that is an aspect that has been largely overlooked in the existing literature.

Okay, that's very helpful to keep in mind kind of the different sorts of mass expulsions that we might see.

In other cases, a new regime comes to power and reconsiders the expulsion.

This is what happened in Uganda.

So in the late 1980s, there's a new president, Ugandan president Museveni, encourages the expelled Asians to return to Uganda.

And so that's an example of a complete reversal of the decision.

So the example I use, the case study I use in the book is the 1972 expulsion of South Asians from Uganda.
