UgandaThursday 12 December 2002
In 1972 the Ugandan militay ruler Idi Amin told the country's approximately 80,000 Asians they were 'bloodsuckers' and that they must leave the country.

About 30,000 of them came to Britain - amongst the first to arrive were the seven members of the De Souza family. Mandy De Souza had only just been born when her parents fled the country.
For the first time she has decided to ask her mother and sisters to talk about their expulsion to Britain, in preparation for her first journey back to Uganda with her father.
