Episode 10: Uganda
In All of Us Command is a new podcast where we learn about countries and their national anthems. Each week, we draw a new country out of a hat and take turns researching them. For our tenth episode, we'll be taking a few steps east to visit Uganda and learn about their national anthem, "Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty".
Join us as Kate teaches us a bit about the history of Uganda and its infamous dictator Idi Amin, His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, CBE, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.
