The man in our lesson today, Idi Amin, wasn’t only a rotten dictator; he was a literal cannibal, and one of his favorite ways to have his enemies killed was with a hammer to the head.

Sadly to say, the hammer was one of the more merciful ways Idi had people murdered. Which I can’t even wrap my head around.

Let’s peer into his mysterious life and see all the rotten things that this horrible man did to those around him.

The man in our lesson today, Pol Pot, was a Cambodian dictator communist who orchestrated the Cambodian genocide of over two million humans. No one was safe under his leadership. It didn’t matter if you were Christian, non-religious, rich, or poor.

All to create a society based on agriculture that he was hopeful would turn into a fully communist one.

How did he do that? By enslaving as many people as he could and forcing them to work in the fields and farms after he took away all of their worldly possessions.
