Forty years on - memories of thousands of Asians being expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin.

Extraordinary personal stories from around the world.

Forty years ago, thousands of Asians were given 90 days to leave Uganda by President Idi Amin.  

Two brothers Paresh and Bhavesh Vaja relive their experiences and come to a surprising conclusion. 

And the only competitor at the London Olympics who's eight months pregnant - Nur Suryani Mohammed Taibi - represented Malaysia in the 10 meter air rifle shooting competition despite worries that she could even go into labour during the games.
