Al-Bashir, Omar

Omar Al-Bashir is a Sudanese politician and former military officer who served as the President of Sudan from 1989 until his ousting in 2019. He came to power through a coup, establishing an authoritarian regime marked by human rights abuses, including violence in the Darfur region, which led to genocide accusations. Al-Bashir was later indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. His rule ended after widespread protests against his government, ultimately leading to his arrest and trials for corruption and other charges. His leadership significantly impacted Sudan's political landscape and its relations with other countries.
