It also covers\u00a0the broader\u00a0impacts of this\u00a0forced migration\u00a0on the political and foreign policy climate of the United Kingdom, Canada, India and East Africa. Some articles attempt to contextualize the expulsion and explain why Idi Amin came to his decision. The newspaper articles are often supplemented with pictures of people leaving Uganda and, at times, there are newspaper cartoons including one depicting a group of Ugandan Asians\u00a0arriving in Canada only to find igloos and a most unwelcoming climate.
