Idi Amin was one of those mass murderers whose crimes can't be counted, only guessed at by demographers; to this day the estimates of the Ugandans he killed range from 200,000 to 800,000. Power unleashed his sadism, and many of his fellow citizens died under torture. People close to him claimed he was a cannibal and kept the heads of eminent victims in his freezer. He was also a cartoon dictator who made himself a doctor of law, gave himself the Victoria Cross, declared himself president for life, and offered free advice to Richard Nixon on Watergate. He had many medals.

Amin didn't like educated Africans, being nearly illiterate himself, and he wiped out most of the intellectual class. He also didn't like South Asians, and in 1972 ordered all 80,000 of them (including those born in Uganda) to leave within 90 days. Their 4,000 shops and businesses were confiscated and given to Amin supporters, who soon ran them into the ground. Those forced to leave included many doctors, dentists, veterinarians, teachers and technicians; the expulsion law crippled hospitals, schools, garages, repair shops and the economy. Nevertheless, this was, sadly, Amin's most popular decision. The relative prosperity of South Asians was widely resented, so Amin could use them much as Hitler used the Jews.

Do you close out allowance for doubtful accounts at end of year?

Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra-asset account, but it relates for bad-debt expense. When increasing bad debt expense, you credit ADA and debit BDE. Allowance for doubtful accounts is just estimating how much you will need for these accounts, and bad debt expense is saying "see, i knew this would go bad" then you credit ADA. Bad debt expense does need to be closed out though! So... Debit ADA Credit Accounts receivable (This is when expenses are written off) then Debit BDE Credit ADA Bad debt expense needs to be closed out, by crediting expenses and then debiting Retained Earnings.
