Why did Gaddafi support Idi Amin?
Gaddafi was known for backing a number of leaders viewed as anathema to Westernization and political liberalism, including Ugandan President Idi Amin, Central African Emperor Jean-BΓ©del Bokassa, Ethiopian strongman Haile Mariam Mengistu, Liberian President Charles Taylor, and Yugoslav President Slobodan MiloΕ‘eviΔ.
Idi Amin's Expulsion of Asians from Uganda soured his relationships with the West and endeared him to those who hated the West, including Libya (financial and military aid), East Germany (helped to build Amin's secret police), and Soviet Union (became Amin's largest arms supplier).
What happened to the Libyans once Idi Amin fell?
The Libyan forces retreated to Jinja and then were repatriated finally through Kenya and Ethiopia. I seem to recall that this involved a ransom paid by Gaddafi to the new government of Uganda.
