Ugandan Asians: The doctor Amin could neither ignore nor expel

By Vali Jamal: In the 14th part of our series, Vali Jamal in his book on Uganda Asians features Dr Mukhtar Ahmad, one of the Asians who remained in Uganda even when they were expelled by President Amin in 1972. The president recognised that his services to the country were far more useful than his citizenship, and exempted him. His wife is a social organiser whose contribution has been commended by even First Lady Janet Museveni and their children are doing as much in US and Pakistan.
