Yusufu Lule, President of the Ugan-ts dan provisional government that was sworn in on Friday, is a former chancellor of Uganda's Makerere University who had been living in exile in London for several years. His government is strongly supported by Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere, who organized the invasion effort after Amin seized and occupied some 700 sq. mi. of Tanzanian territory six months ago. Since Nyerere's troops did most of the fighting, the fall of Kampala marked the first successful invasion by one African country of another since the end of colonialism.
Declaring that the deposed dictator "deserves the gallows" for his role in killing at least 300,000 of his people, the national radio called on Ugandans "to find him wherever he is." Lule (pronounced Loo-lay), who will hold office until elections can be called, struck a more reflective note when he told his countrymen, "Ugandans from every tribe and every family have suffered from his murders, torture, terror, robbery and plunder. From this day, Ugandans must resolve never to allow a dictator to rule them again."
