Major General Idi Amin, driving his own jeep on his way to meet recently released prisoners of the overthrown Milton Obote, waved to a crowd of 50,000 people, who are cheering Amin's overthrow of the dictator Obote. Amin was to prove a far more deadly leader. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin, also known as 'Six Camera Mo' captured some of Africa's defining moments. He managed to use his cameras for more than a generation to bring East Africa’s most powerful stories into world view.
