Tito Okello toppled the government of Apollo Milton Obote. The U.S. Committee for Refugees reports that when Mr. Okello took office "1 out of every 14 Ugandans was a refugee or displaced. Approximately 300.000 Ugandans remained outside the countrys borders as refugees. As many as 950.000 more were internally displaced from their homes and farms. but remained within Uganda in a refugeelike situation." In August 1984. the U.S. Department of State publically condemned the human rights record of the Obote government as "horrendous" and "among the most grave in the world." It estimates that as many as 100.000 to 200.000 Ugandans died since the overthrow of Amin. Other sources claim casualties were between 300.000 and 500.000.
