| Video Discription | Monday, June 23rd 1975. Footage of Ugandan President General Idi Amin insisting that "British Imperialism is Over in Uganda". He was speaking soon after the release of Denis Hills, a British lecturer, traveller and adventurer whom Amin had imprisoned and threatened with execution after Hills had criticised him in the manuscript of the then not yet published book "The White Pumpkin". Amin had taken offence at being referred to as a "Black Nero" and a "village tyrant". Prime Minister Harold Wilson sent Lieutenant General Sir Chandos Blair, the General Officer Commanding Scottish Command, to intercede. Blair had previously been the Commanding Officer of the 4th Battalion the King's African Rifles (KAR), in which Amin had served. He was accompanied by retired Major Iain Grahame, Amin’s regimental commander in the KAR. According to the Los Angeles Times of May 3rd 2004 “the two British envoys who brought an appeal from Queen Elizabeth II to spare Hills’ life were forced to crawl on their knees through a low entrance to a hut where Amin received them.” Amin claimed that "British Imperialism is Over in Uganda" and railed against those whose attitude towards Ugandans was still based on the mentality of the "Bwana Makuba" i.e. "Great Master" during the era of colonisation. Hills received a pardon from Amin on Tuesday, July 1st after the mediation of President Moutu Sese Seko of Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). He had been originally scheduled to be executed at 11am on Monday, June 30th in an area of Kampala at which the British executed 27 Muslim Sudanese mutineers in 1898. The British called the area "Mutineer Gully" while the Ugandans referred to it as "Execution Valley". The last scheduled date of execution had been Friday, July 4th 1975. Hills had been condemned to death by a military tribunal headed by Lt. Colonel Juma Ali and was eventually released after a meeting between Amin and British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan.
