What fifth President of Iraq did Abdel-Karim Mahoud al-Mohammedawi lead the resistance against?
Saddam Hussein Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti ( ; Arabic: صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي "Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Maǧīd al-Tikrītī "; 28 April 1937  – 30 December 2006) was the fifth President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003. A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organization the Iraqi Ba'ath Party—which espoused Ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and socialism—Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup (later referred to as the 17 July Revolution) that brought the party to power in Iraq.
Ali Abdullah Saleh Ali Abdullah Saleh (Arabic: علي عبد الله صالح‎ ‎ , "ʿAlī ʿAbdullāh Ṣāliḥ"; born 21 March 1942) is a Yemeni politician who rose to power following the assassination of President al-Ghashmi. He was elected President of North Yemen (the Yemen Arab Republic) on 17 July 1978 at the age of 36. Following the merger of North Yemen with South Yemen on 22 May 1990, President Saleh was sworn in as the new President. Long considered a moderate President, he oversaw his country's development of deeper ties with Western powers, especially the United-States, in its fight against terrorism. In 2011, in wake of the "Arab Spring" that spread across Yemen, Saleh's time in office became more and more untenable, until eventually he was ousted as President of Yemen in 2012. He was succeeded in office by Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
