Entebbe Raid : The Israeli Raid that humiliated Idi Amin of Uganda
In 1976, an airplane hijacking unfolded that would change history. Air France Flight 139, en route from Tel Aviv, Israel to Paris, France fell into the hands of terrorists. Led by members of the German Baader-Meinhof group and Palestinians from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the plane was diverted to Entebbe, Uganda. There, Idi Amin, fueled by frustration over his country’s deteriorating relations with Israel, welcomed the hijackers with seemingly open arms.
This set the stage for a daring Israeli rescue mission, an operation that would not only free hostages but also deliver a blow to Amin's regime.

Idi Amin was like H!tler. Thank God he was forcibly removed from the throne. He murdered many of his own citizens.
❤thank you sir for the information.
This is what a leader is about. Take bow sir. Love from India.
May he Dos Santos,continue resting in HELL🔥🔥
Ibrahim memang hebat
William Tolbert was overthrown by powerful westerners who handed power over Samuel Doe and his entourage.
Bokassa was supported by France, French air force even sent jet fighters to protect him being crowned; Mobutu was supported by US, he murdered Lumumba together CIA,MI6,VSSE. Amin was supported by US, CIA was him sending military aids so he could kill his own people. They are just the three of most terrible dictators in Africa supported by former colonizers and neocolonizers committing most disgusting atrocities. The list can go on much longer. Stop pretending African people doomed themselves and they are hopeless 😅 you western countries are
Love this channel, African history is so unknown in the western world and this channel has to be one of the the best African history sources ive ever seen,ive learnt so much from your channel and videos l, thanks so much for sharing this history.
He's powerful
I discovered him through a comment...he is not praised enough!
Banda was a *Totalitarian* dictator that push his fist over clothes, religion opinions. Was like a 'non communist Mao' In Africa.
Best African leader i knew
Can you name one thing he did that you know ?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Pres Traore Self sufficency Sustainability Productivity is the Main Goal of All Africa AFRICAN UNION PAY ATTENTION AFRICA FIRST.
Only the biggest losers hunt elephants
I can correct you It's genocide against the Tutsis took place in Rwanda Not rwandan genocide ❌
He must be related to the escort service sleeper. She calls her the Princess of Africa
It's sad that people realize their delusions only when something unusual happens - for thousands of years "leaders" have led the people and the country only as long as it pays them personally - only Buddha, Christ, Che Guevara and those with similar awareness are able to support their paradise without own interests - and apparently also Captain Ibrahim Traore. I don't believe in God, but GOD BLESS HIM anyway.
Thanks
Russia China Iran identifying and being supportive of Africa's struggles for independence and sovereignty in word and deed are solidifying staunch partnerships and inclusion in the future economic and military stability and eventual world peace by creating a sustainable and new United Nations. To protect one another and the BRICK'S nations against neo- colonialism, and bullying, and replace the unjust hypocritical International Court of Justice that has been corrupted and weaponized by Western Nations. Let the West help the West good luck!
Heads of states removed by the west… this has not changed till today …Iraq, Libya the list goes on
Oromuma empire kicked off Amhara/tigray. But now oromuma empire king abiy Ahmed eyes on big plans Somalia 🇸🇴 and Eritrea 🇪🇷 then Kenya 🇰🇪 and Djibouti 🇩🇯. If oromuma king Abiy crush Somalia and Eritrea will crush Kenya and Djibouti without fires!
Add on is that the current President Ramaphosa is suspected to be one of the people who was indirectly responsible for Chris death, some people believe he is a CIA agent whose mandate is to divide the black government.
Hope south africa is watching , Zimbabweans deserve better, in future tables may turn for south africa.
Lies, why did The United States overthrow President Tolbert. Samuel Doe did nothing.

This Man is CRAZY!
I wish President Kagame and his county continued success- it is great to see Rwanda and it’s people prosper - they deserve it after all their past horrors! Belgium and Germany have a lot to answer from their time there and should be humble to help this country in every way! Greetings from Ireland!
I am currently in Rwanda for a tour. You are telling this history really well. I am glad I am part of the peacekeeping in Rwanda. I will take good vibes in Kenya. I just love the people of Reanda.
And fall
Great stuff again mukuru, you deserve an Aqua!
When propaganda is skillfully utilized at the behest of white European entities to further deceive the world and justify their destruction of a powerhouse African society
Real general... justified... rajalvaro say so
So you have no evidence or proof that he stole all that money because the word "allegedly" means exactly that lol
Doe never staged any coup! He was a puppet just like most politicians in Africa
He was not a dictator! You have to be a strong minded individual to rule not just Africans but everyone else. He loved the country and cared about our youth and our women. Now we are in a far worse state because everything has broken down and the country is in a total mess.
Samuel K. Doe did not Kill our President... It's was the American CIA. I know because I am a Liberian 🇱🇷...
Peace for Ethiopia for my motherland.
A Cruel Traitor and Stooge of The West
I love your videos but I have to say that the music in the background is very distracting
We need African historians and hobbyists to get involved in English documentaries. There are SO MANY novel lessons to be learned from African history that have yet to be learned in the West. The next tragedy could be prevented when enough people understand what is possible.
