Who married Idi Amin?

Idi Amin Dada Oumee ( , UK also ; 30 May 1928 – 16 August 2003) was a Ugandan military officer and politician who served as the third president of Uganda from 1971 until his overthrow in 1979. He ruled as a military dictator and is considered one of the most brutal despots in modern world history.

Amin was born to a Kakwa father and Lugbara mother. In 1946, he joined the King's African Rifles (KAR) of the British Colonial Army as a cook. He rose to the rank of lieutenant, taking part in British actions against Somali rebels and then the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya. Uganda gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1962, and Amin remained in the army, rising to the position of deputy army commander in 1964 and being appointed commander two years later. He became aware that Ugandan president Milton Obote was planning to arrest him for misappropriating army funds, so he launched the 1971 Ugandan coup d'état and declared himself president.

During his years in power, Amin shifted from being a pro-Western ruler enjoying considerable support from Israel to being backed by Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, Zaire's Mobutu Sese Seko, the Soviet Union, and East Germany. In 1972, Amin expelled Asians, a majority of whom were Indian-Ugandans, leading India to sever diplomatic relations with his regime. In 1975, Amin assumed chairmanship of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), an intergovernmental organization designed to promote solidarity among African states (an annually rotating role). Uganda was a member of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights from 1977 to 1979. The United Kingdom broke diplomatic relations with Uganda in 1977, and Amin declared that he had defeated the British and added CBE to his title for Conqueror of the British Empire.

As Amin's rule progressed into the late 1970s, there was increased unrest against his persecution of certain ethnic groups and political dissidents, along with Uganda's very poor international standing due to Amin's support for PFLP-EO and RZ hijackers in 1976, leading to Israel's Operation Entebbe. He then attempted to annex Tanzania's Kagera Region in 1978. Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere ordered his troops to invade Uganda in response. Tanzanian Army and rebel forces successfully captured Kampala in 1979 and ousted Amin from power. Amin went into exile, first in Libya, then Iraq, and finally in Saudi Arabia, where he lived until his death in 2003.

Amin's rule was characterized by rampant human rights abuses including political repression and extrajudicial killings as well as nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. International observers and human rights groups estimate that between 100,000 and 500,000 people were killed under his regime.

Norah Amin (born between 1895 and 1955) was Idi Amin's third first lady from Lango. She was married to Idi Amin in 1967 and later Idi Amin divorced her in 1973. During her time as First Lady, she was involved in public activities like on December 19, 1971, she participated in a charity walk around the town of Entebbe.

Khezia Adroa Amin (died August 1974) commonly known as Kay Adroa was the second wife of Idi Amin, the president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979, in 1966. She was from the same region as Amin, West Nile.

Madina Amin (born in the early 1950s) was Uganda's first lady, and artist (dancer). She was Idi Amin's fourth first lady and favorite wife. She was the first Muslim woman as the renowned traditional dancer.She was a traditional dancer with a group called Heart Beat of Africa and was drawn to Idi Amin for her dancing.

Malyamu Amin also known as Malyamu Kibedi Amin, was the First Lady to Idi Amin.
