Indy beetle: you've added the ref name "bulletin" with no definition. Were you trying to add that name to the ref directly after it? That's my guess, but since "bulletin" isn't in its title or publisher name I wasn't sure.

There is a Wikipedia page that details the persecution of Baha’i adherents including the execution of Olinga and his family but there’s no mention of this in the article on Idi Amin.
Most things u write about the man are not correct
And why don't u talk about the good thing he did for the country Uganda like constructing Mandela stadium — Preceding

The claim that Amin participated in the Shifta war in the KAR in 1949 doesn’t seem right as the Shifta war began in 1963. The source cited only makes a vague reference to him being stationed in Somalia fighting “the Shifta animal raiders”. Seems like this should be revised

Indeed. Thank you for pointing this out. "Shifta" was a catch-all term for bandits and rebels in Somalia during this period, so whoever added "Shifta War" was probably not familiar with the terminology.
