Idi Amin's dream mosque opens



Posted on ANN on 21 March 2008=
BBC, 19 March 2008--huge mosque begun more than 30 years ago by the late Ugandan dictator Idi Amin has opened in the Ugandan capital. The mosque is named after Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi who helped finance its construction when funds ran low.

As Libya's leader opened the mosque, which holds some 15,000 worshippers and dominates Kampala's skyline, a large crowd chanted "long live Gaddafi".

Amin, who lived in Saudi Arabia after he fled Uganda in 1979, dreamed of building Africa's largest mosque.

A number of other African heads of state attended the ceremony, including the presidents of Somalia, Zanzibar and Djibouti.
