He ruled for nearly three decades, during which his government faced accusations of human rights abuses, including war crimes in Darfur. His leadership was marked by authoritarian practices, suppression of dissent, and conflicts that caused widespread suffering. In 2019, mass protests led to his overthrow and arrest.
