'Alive and well on honeymoon'
Uganda says Amin not dead
NAIROBI, Kenya (UPI) Uganda
radio said yesterday that President Idi
Amin was on a honeymoon with his bride
of two years and that reports of his
disappearance were "malicious ,
propaganda" aimed at "hoodwinking
the whole world." •
The report, a rambling newscast
chiding both Kenya and Britain for being
"stupid" and warning Ugandans
against collaborating with other
countries, was the first official comment
on Amin's mysterious five-day absence
from the capital of Kampala.
"President .Amin has been resting
after a long period of hard work as was
announced in June," the radio said.
"The allegations of his disappearance
therefore seem to have originated from
the Kenya news media followed by the
British press to the extent of hood
winking the whole world," the • radio
said.
"The British and Kenyans should be

ashamed, for nothing at all has hap
pened to him," the radio said, adding
that all reports "about his alleged death
or disappearance have proved false."
"It can be recalled that on June 16 the
president announced he was going for a
honeymoon and test with his fourth wife
Sarah whom he married in 1975.
, "It is therefore stupid for the British to
expect him to keep talking as though he
was a coward," the radio said. "All this
malicious propaganda and machinations
started way back in 1972 when he
declared the•economic war which Amin
began by expelling 40,000 Asian
businessmen."
Amin has had four wives and seven
children. Amin's first' wife and mother of
six of his children, Mama Maliam', fled
to Britain in 1975 after "two determined
attempts" to kill, her. Mama Maiiam
survived a car crash staged by Amin's
security forces and quarreled with Amin
when he visited her in the hospital. Amin
this weekend:
111 HeistereSt.
Call 234-0845
said she had been injured in the crash
"because she was not living a life. of
sufficient discipline."
The body of Amin's second wife, Kay,
was discovered dismembered in the
trunk of a car in 1974 and his third wife,
Norah, simply disappeared and has not
been heard from since,.
The radio statement was the first
official confirmation Amin was alive
after days of confusing reports that he
was either dead, badly wounded after
another assassination attempt or was
engaged in another hoax. However, the
radio did not say where Amin was or
when he would resume his duties.
Despite the radio announcement,
Ugandan sources insisted that Aiiiin had
escaped an assassination attempt by
dissident army troops last Saturday and
that soldiers loyal to him had launched a
purge in which between 200 and 300
persons had been killed in the past few
days.
