Background: Foreign firms with investments in Uganda were on Wednesday (30 August) reported to be taking calmly an announcement from President Amin of Uganda that his government will require foreign firms to be handed over to Africans.

President Amin has not made it clear how soon he wants the hand-over to take place, but he says it will be after the Asians with British passports are expelled from his country.

Several British, European and United States firms have big investments in Uganda -- Britain's investment amounts to more than GBP12 million.
