Witness History - The exodus of Asians from Uganda
Download The exodus of Asians from Uganda
In 1972, the dictator Idi Amin announced that all Asians had just 90 days to leave Uganda.
Teacher Nurdin Dawood, who had a young family, didn't at first believe that Amin was serious.
But soon he was desperately searching for a new country to call home. Farhana Dawood spoke to her father Nurdin Dawood in 2011.
This programme contains descriptions of racial discrimination.
