Stand Up and Stride - A History of African Fascism

Now that you say it, direct rule from Addis Ababa doesn't sound too bad either.

Not sure if this has already been said or if this belongs here:
“Although some felt Adolf Hitler was bad, he was a great man and a real conqueror whose name would never be forgotten.”
~Idi Amin.

You mean like an African equivalent to National Socialism or African support for National Socalism? That would certainly be strange. Would be interesting to see how they would defend it, though.

Both, especially if Italy invades Ethiopia and Germany gets the chance to portray itself as an anti-colonialist country which supports the exportation of National Socialism into colonial Africa as Idi Amin becomes attracted to it. I feel like a Nazi Uganda under TTL's Idi Amin would be a sort of Afro-Fascist North Korea that has the same relationship with its more wealthy counterparts in the Afro-Fascist camp in much the same vein as China and NK today.
 
Announcement # 2
Just to confirm, my absence can be explained by having to go abroad to deal with things back in Ethiopia - especially with the series of events since the new Prime Minister came to power in April 2018 - but I'm back and I sure as hell am gonna continue this brainchild of mine, maybe even expand on the previous shorter chapters.

"Have we not the right, in the face of all these difficulties (under-population), beyond and over our sacred rights, to demand the unification of Liberia and West Africa so that we restore to ourselves the living space which is indispensable and inevitable? Others have found living space for themselves in foreign and remote lands - why should we not have the right to demand not to be strangled in a territory of land which is today too narrow for us, and how shall we manage otherwise as time passes and our number increases? Liberia has the right to aspire to become the Great Ethiopian Kingdom, to be a guardian of the West Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean, to be the leader of the United States of Africa." -- William Tubman.
 
Spoilers!

Due to Hitler's support for Ethiopia and Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck's mission to Ethiopia, the former gained a surprisingly sizable following in Ethiopia during the 1930s and even in WWII. We can see this in the image below where two young Ethiopian men select portraits of significant leaders in Ethiopia.

"I am still the Hitler of the time. This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources. If that is Hitler, then let me be Hitler tenfold. Ten times, that is what we stand for."
- Robert Mugabe

I know he's not literally calling himself Hitler but perhaps it'd be interesting to see if he could be influenced by fascism?
