WI Idi Amin is arrested in 1971?

In 1971, Milton Obote got word that Idi Amin was a potential problem. Before leaving for a summit in Singapore, Obote ordered the arrest of Amin and his supporters. Somehow, (no one is quite sure how), Amin got word of the impending arrests and seized control of Uganda in a coup.

Now what if Amin didn't have such good intel and was actually seized by Obote loyalists? What becomes of British and Israeli support?
 
Uganda still ends up like other African states, corrupt hell-holes run by big men under the name of socialism, with repression, ethnic troubles if not genocide and civil strife and remaining entrenched in the stink of the poverty stricken third world.

Western support was already a no go considering Obote's left leaning tendencies.
