Omar al-Bashir

Omar al-Bashir is a Sudanese political leader who served as the President of Sudan from 1989 until 2019. He came to power through a military coup and ruled with an authoritarian style. Al-Bashir's presidency is marked by civil war, widespread human rights abuses, and accusations of genocide, particularly in the Darfur region, leading to an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against him. In April 2019, he was ousted by protests against his rule. His leadership has had a profound impact on Sudan's political landscape and continues to influence the country’s ongoing struggles for peace and stability.
