Saddam Hussein was the President of Iraq from 1979 until 2003. He was born into a poor family and had a difficult childhood. Saddam married Sajida Talfah in 1963, and they had five children: Uday, Qusay, Raghad, Hala, and Amin. Uday and Qusay were known for their controversial and violent behavior, often involved in criminal activities. Saddam's family played a significant role in his regime, with many relatives holding important positions in the government. After the fall of Saddam's regime in 2003, several family members fled Iraq, while others faced arrest or were killed. The family's legacy remains controversial in Iraq and beyond.
