Amins army and death squad, kills a reported 300,000 humans, who, for the most part, are innocent victims of his, Economic War. A Swahili saying: -- When two bull elephants fight, it is the grass who suffers most, fits this situation. In Kenya, the Jacques family, experienced the breathtaking beauty of a country dubbed, The Worlds Safari Capital.
