Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein, born on April 28, 1937, was the President of Iraq from 1979 until his ousting in 2003. Known for his brutal regime and authoritarian rule, Hussein's tenure was marked by widespread human rights abuses, including the suppression of political dissent and the use of chemical weapons against Kurds. His invasion of Kuwait in 1990 led to the Gulf War and intensified international sanctions against Iraq. The 2003 U.S.-led invasion aimed at toppling him resulted in his eventual capture and execution in 2006. Hussein’s rule remains a subject of significant controversy, emblematic of the complex interplay between dictatorship and geopolitics in the Middle East.
