Haider al-Abadi

Haider al-Abadi, born on April twenty-fifth, nineteen fifty-two, is a prominent Iraqi politician and electrical engineer who served as the Prime Minister of Iraq from September two thousand fourteen until October two thousand eighteen. His political career began in earnest when he was appointed Minister of Communication in the first government following the fall of Saddam Hussein, a role he held from two thousand three to two thousand four.

Designated as Prime Minister by President Fuad Masum on August eleventh, two thousand fourteen, al-Abadi succeeded Nouri al-Maliki and was confirmed by the Iraqi parliament on September eighth, two thousand fourteen. His leadership coincided with a tumultuous period in Iraq, marked by the War in Iraq from two thousand thirteen to two thousand seventeen, during which he declared victory against ISIL.

Al-Abadi's tenure was recognized internationally, as he was named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in two thousand eighteen. However, his time in office was not without challenges, as he faced rising domestic discontent and widespread protests, leading to his departure from the Prime Ministership in two thousand eighteen.
