The Arube uprising, also known as Arube mutiny and Arube Coup, was a military coup d'état attempt organized on 23–24 March 1974 by discontented elements of the Uganda Army to overthrow Ugandan President Idi Amin. Led by Brigadier Charles Arube, the coupists aimed not only for a government takeover, but also to remove many influential foreign-born soldiers from the Ugandan military. Although the rebels initially succeeded in capturing much of Uganda's capital Kampala, Arube was killed by Amin as he attempted to capture him, resulting in the gradual collapse of the coup. With the aid of loyal troops from outside the capital, the President was able to put down the coup after two days of heavy fighting.

  • The Arube uprising, also known as Arube mutiny and Arube Coup, was a military coup d'état attempt organized on 23–24 March 1974 by discontented elements of the Uganda Army to overthrow Ugandan President Idi Amin. Led by Brigadier Charles Arube, the coupists aimed not only for a government takeover, but also to remove many influential foreign-born soldiers from the Ugandan military. Although the rebels initially succeeded in capturing much of Uganda's capital Kampala, Arube was killed by Amin as he attempted to capture him, resulting in the gradual collapse of the coup. With the aid of loyal troops from outside the capital, the President was able to put down the coup after two days of heavy fighting. After the coup, the Ugandan government claimed that Arube had committed suicide, and initiated a limited purge of suspected dissidents in the army. Most coup supporters and sympathizers were treated leniently, however, as their cause was popular in the military. Amin consequently made several concessions, including releasing surviving coup leaders, appointing Mustafa Adrisi as the new army chief, and reorganizing the unpopular Military Police to avoid another uprising. Nevertheless, unrest continued in the Uganda Army during the remainder of his rule, and he faced several more coup attempts as well as mutinies until his overthrow in 1979. (en)
  • Levante de Arube, também conhecido como motim de Arube e Golpe de Arube, foi uma tentativa de golpe militar organizada em 23-24 de março de 1974 por elementos descontentes do Exército de Uganda para depor o Presidente de Uganda Idi Amin. Liderados pelo brigadeiro Charles Arube, os golpistas pretendiam não apenas uma tomada do governo, mas também remover muitos soldados estrangeiros influentes do exército de Uganda. Embora os rebeldes tenham inicialmente obtido sucesso na captura de grande parte da capital ugandense, Kampala, Arube foi morto por Amin enquanto tentava capturá-lo, resultando no colapso gradual do golpe. Com a ajuda de tropas leais de fora da capital, o presidente conseguiu reprimir o golpe após dois dias de combates pesados. Após o golpe, o governo ugandense alegou que Arube havia cometido suicídio e iniciou um expurgo limitado de supostos dissidentes do exército. A maioria dos apoiadores e simpatizantes do golpe foi tratada com leniência, entretanto, já que sua causa era popular entre os militares. Consequentemente, Amin fez várias concessões, incluindo a libertação dos líderes golpistas sobreviventes, nomeando como o novo chefe do exército e reorganizando a impopular Polícia Militar para evitar outro levante. No entanto, a instabilidade continuou no exército de Uganda durante o resto de seu governo, e Amin enfrentou várias tentativas de golpe, bem como motins, até sua deposição em 1979. (pt)

  • Amin was a brave soldier, let us recognise that. Despite being besieged, he was still struggling to arrest the situation. He did not attempt to flee. He wanted if he was to be captured, it must be after a bloody battle. (en)
