Omar Al-Bashir is a Sudanese politician who served as the President of Sudan from 1989 until 2019. He came to power through a military coup and was known for his authoritarian rule. His government faced numerous accusations of human rights violations, particularly during the Darfur conflict, which began in the early 2000s. In April 2019, Al-Bashir was ousted from power following months of protests against his regime. He was later arrested and faced charges related to corruption and war crimes, including those issued by the International Criminal Court for his role in the Darfur crisis.
