Uganda's President Idi Amin welcomes Mohamed Amin as the Uganda leader prepares for an interview. In August 1972 the dictator revealed to his troops at Tororo that God had appeared to him in a dream ordering him to expel all Asians from the country. Kenya's renowned photojournalist Mohamed Amin, also known as 'Six Camera Mo' was best known as a great frontline photojournalist, but he spent more time documenting his country’s beauty, wildlife, culture, people and leaders than anything else. Mo managed to use his cameras for more than a generation to bring East Africa’s most powerful stories into world view.
