Bashar al-Assad
Bashar al-Assad is the President of Syria, having held power since 2000. His rule has been marked by significant controversy, particularly due to his government's violent suppression of protests during the Syrian civil war, which began in 2011. Despite being a focal point of global criticism for human rights abuses, Assad has managed to maintain his position with support from allies like Russia and Iran.
