Amin seeks improved Uganda United States relations
President Idi Amin told Associated Press he hopes to visit New York this year and aims to reopen the U S embassy in Kampala. He said Carter could become a close ally but complained Washington misreads Africa and cited alleged human rights abuses as reasons for Britain to bar him from London. He denied killing Archbishop Janani Luwum and two ministers, insisting they died in an auto wreck after arrest. He urged dialogue with the United States but warned of mercenary troops near Uganda’s borders.
