On June 28, 1976, an Air France flight was hijacked by pro-Palestinian militants and diverted to Entebbe Airport in Uganda. The hijackers separated passengers based on nationality and religion, with Ugandan President Idi Amin, a Black African leader, providing support to the hijackers. The incident drew international attention to issues of terrorism, state complicity, and the complexities of post-colonial African leadership during the Cold War era.
