(CNN) -- Former Ugandan ruler Idi Amin is in a coma at a Saudi Arabian hospital, and Uganda's government has rebuffed his family's request to allow him to be buried in his homeland, relatives said Sunday.

Amin, now 80, is overweight and has suffered from hypertension and fatigue in recent years, reported David Kibirige of Uganda's newspaper The Monitor.

Amin, a Muslim who rose to rule Uganda in 1971, received sanctuary in Saudi Arabia after his ouster in 1979 , according to the CIA World Factbook. Amin's "dictatorial regime" was "responsible for the deaths of some 300,000 opponents," the factbook said.

Amin's wife, Medina, said the former dictator slipped into a coma Friday night and was being treated at a Saudi hospital, Kibirige told CNN.

The good news is:

the good, the bad and the very ugly .... all have to die in the end.

How dare Amin request burial in the country which he abused so horribly???

Also, I forgot that Idi Amin was accepted by Saudi Arabia....

Why is Saudi Arabia associated with so much BAD going on in the world today and for the last 25 years? With all that money this country, of all the countries in the region broiling over in hate, should have arrived at some degree of civilization by now.

What do you mean what is wrong with Saudi arabia exactly lets look at ac ouple of points number 1 where would you want Amin still in Uganda or in Saudi Arabia but I do agree with you that he has no rights.
2. Saudi Arabia is responsiblr for giving the coalition a major helping hand in this war and the last by letting the planes use air bases and runways when countrys like Turkey said no.
3. Saudi arabia got bombed for this help and many people died so they suffred for helping us.
4. They get condemmed a lot fgor having trouble catching terrorists but if you lokk at the US record it isnt exactly gleaming either.
5. People are exposed to capital punishment in Saudi arabis but more often than not that is deterrrent enough except for an ignorant few foreign workers who think its fine to just spit on thier culture and drink alcohol.
These are just a few things that I assume you meant when you asked wahts wrong with Saudi but if its another point/s please post them
