ABSTRACT This article focuses on Idi Amin’s rise to power in Uganda and his simultaneous involvement in Southern Sudan. Using newly released material, it revises the suggestions of neo-colonial intervention by Britain during the coup, instead arguing that events primarily reflected an internal power struggle and the importance of regional dynamics. Insofar as there was external intervention, Israel took the lead as part of a regional strategy to prevent African states aligning against her in the Middle East conflict. This contrasts with Britain’s increasing reluctance to interfere in regions which were not of direct strategic importance, primarily due to its weakened economy.

乌干达、苏丹南部和伊迪·阿明政变

摘要 本文重点介绍伊迪·阿明在乌干达的崛起以及他同时参与苏丹南部的活动。使用新发布的材料，它修改了英国在政变期间进行新殖民干预的建议，而是认为事件主要反映了内部权力斗争和地区动态的重要性。就外部干预而言，以色列作为区域战略的一部分，带头防止非洲国家在中东冲突中与她结盟。这与英国越来越不愿意干涉不具有直接战略重要性的地区形成鲜明对比，主要是由于其经济疲软。
