Overthrowing a government in Uganda is not an easy job. We hear from a soldier who helped bring Idi Amin to power in 1971. It was a day of great joy, armoured vehicles were decorated with flowers and girls threw themselves at him!

But three years later, with rumours of human rights abuses growing, the soldier is persuaded to help overthrow him. When that goes wrong he ends up face to face with the dictator.
