Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti, commonly known as Saddam Hussein, is an Iraqi statesman, born April 28, 1937 in Al-Awja, near Tikrit, and executed by hanging on 30 December 2006 in Baghdad, Republic from 1979 to 2003.

Fifth President of the Republic of Iraq, he held this post from 16 July 1979 to 9 April 2003. As a leading member of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, he retained his position of influence during the split of the party and headed the Iraqi regional branch of the organization. Saddam Hussein, a devoted Ba'athist ideologist who combines Arab nationalism and Arab socialism, played a decisive role in the coup d'état of 17 July 1968, which brought the Ba'ath party to power in Iraq.

Saddam Hussein, as the country's deputy headed by the aging General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, is taking advantage of the political instability in Iraq as a result of the existence of numerous armed groups capable of overthrowing the current government , and trains security forces to control relations between the government and the armed forces of the country. It is also the initiator of many economic reforms that significantly improve the average standard of living, notably its nationalization of oil and various other industries in the early 1970s. The close control it exercises over state banks will nonetheless be primarily responsible the country's bankruptcy in the aftermath of major armed conflicts such as the Iran-Iraq war or the Gulf war, but also because of heavy sanctions imposed by the UN. During the 1970s, Saddam consolidated his authority over government machinery through the flourishing oil industry that allowed the Iraqi economy to grow steadily during this period. The positions of influence under Saddam Hussein's administration are mainly occupied by people of Sunni faith, while they represent only a minority (20%) of the Iraqi population, mainly Shiites and Kurds.

Although Saddam was de facto leader of Iraq during the previous decade, he officially acceded to the post of president of the country only in 1979. His severe repression of several revolutionary and separatist movements both Shiite and Kurds allows him to maintain himself as a strong man of the country. Under his presidency, Iraq is experiencing eight years of war with Iran. In 1990, he invaded Kuwait, triggering the Gulf War. The conflict ended, however, with a defeat for Iraq, which had to evacuate the country at the beginning of 1991 and then remained isolated on the international plane; Saddam Hussein succeeds in maintaining himself in power.

In 2003, a coalition of states led by the United States and the United Kingdom invaded Iraq to overthrow Saddam, who was then accused by Western forces of possessing weapons of mass destruction and maintaining close relations with organizations terrorists such as al-Qaeda; these allegations will prove to be unfounded. After its overthrow, the Baath Party is abolished and democratic elections are organized by the Iraqi transitional government. He was captured after eight months of flight by US troops on 13 December 2003 and appeared before the Iraqi judiciary, facing multiple charges, including crimes against humanity. On November 5, 2006, he was convicted of killing 148 Iraqi Shiites in Doujail in 1982 and sentenced to death. Saddam Hussein will finally be executed by hanging on December 30, 2006.


The brutality of its dictatorship remains largely condemned: in addition to its multiple violations of human rights, various governments and NGOs denounced its actions in respect of war crimes, murders, crimes against humanity and genocide. Some sectors of opinion in the Arab world, however, continue to praise its fierce opposition to the United States and Israel, as well as its determining role in the economic development of Iraq. Since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, Iraq remains a prey to great instability.
