Former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin out of coma
Former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin has come out of a coma and his condition is improving, a source at a hospital in Red Sea city said on Wednesday. "Heâs out of a coma and his condition is improving," the hospital source told AFP.Noooooooooooooooooo! However, he remains in the intensive care unit at King Faisal Specialist Hospital, one of Saudi Arabiaâs top medical centres, the source said, giving no further details. Hospital officials refused to specify the exact cause of Idi Aminâs illness or provide details about his condition at the request of family members who have been living with him in Saudi Arabia in obscurity for more than 10 years. Idi Amin, a Muslim now in his eighties, was admitted to hospital on Friday. OK, weâre going to have to drive a stake through his heart, if we can find one. A heart, that is. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni warned on Tuesday that Amin would face trial for his atrocities if he returned to his homeland alive. Try his corpse and execute it again, just to be sure. On Tuesday, one of his wives and a daughter joined him at his bedside after a flight from Kampala "facilitated" by the Ugandan government. Posted by: Steve 2003-07-23 |
