Bashar Asad
Bashar Asad is the current President of Syria, having taken office in July 2000 after succeeding his father, Hafez Asad. His leadership has been marked by significant controversy, particularly due to the ongoing civil war in Syria that began in 2011, which has resulted in widespread humanitarian crises and international condemnation. Asad's regime has been accused of numerous human rights violations, including the use of chemical weapons against civilians. Recently, discussions have emerged regarding the redesign of Syrian banknotes to remove his portrait amidst shifting partnerships with countries like Germany and the UAE for currency production, signaling a potential change in the political landscape of Syria.
