Mustafa Adrisi

Mustafa Adrisi

General Mustafa Adrisi was Vice President of Uganda (1977–1978), and one of president Idi Amin's closest associates. In 1978, after Adrisi was injured in a suspicious auto accident, troops loyal to him mutinied. Amin sent troops against the mutineers, some of whom had fled across the Tanzanian border, eventually leading to the Uganda-Tanzania War.[1]
