    Uday Hussein was a sexual sadist, drug addict and psychopath - but he was also the man in charge of Iraqi sport, especially Iraqi football, which he ran using torture, theft, extortion and murder.
    This is his story, his lengths to control Iraqi football, and how he was brought down.
    Written by James Montague. Illustrated by Philippe Fenner.

      Uday Hussein was born on June 18, 1964 in Baghdad, Iraq as the eldest son of Saddam Hussein and his first wife, Sajida Talfah. His childhood was marked by privilege and power, as he grew up in a wealthy and influential family. He was given the best education and opportunities, and was groomed by his father to eventually take over as his successor. Despite his privileged upbringing, Uday was known for his violent and erratic behavior from a young age, which would continue to define his character as he grew older.

      It is important to remember that regardless of one's upbringing or experiences, everyone deserves support and resources to heal from trauma and break the cycle of abuse. It is crucial for society to prioritize prevention and intervention programs to address issues of childhood abuse and trauma, and to provide resources for those who have been victims of such abuse.
      While Uday Hussein's story is a tragic and extreme case, it highlights the need for awareness and action to address the impact of childhood trauma on individuals and society as a whole. By supporting victims of abuse and working to create a safe and nurturing environment for all children, we can help prevent future generations from suffering the same fate as Uday Hussein.

    You can also understand this has dramatically impacted Iraqi football and, sadly, regressed the country’s development for years to come. Despite shockingly won the 2007 Asian Cup, Iraq could not keep momentum and by 2023, their 1986 World Cup remains Iraq’s sole appearance. Additionally mismanagement is also the key, as many officials used to work under Saddam came to prioritise corruption and bribery. Sad for a wasted potential.

      It sounds like you have experienced some very significant and intense moments during your time deployed in Baghdad in 2003. Being right across the street from key locations such as the Police station/Police Academy, the Ministry of Interior, and the Olympic village must have given you a front-row seat to some of the major events taking place in the city during that time.
      The capture of Saddam Hussein in December 2003, just after your 21st birthday, and the subsequent transfer to the CIA black site at the airport must have been a historic and memorable moment for you and your military police company. Being involved in the outer security during such a significant event is something that very few people can say they have experienced.
      The news of the deaths of Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay, and the celebrations that erupted in Baghdad following the announcement, must have been a complex and emotional moment for you and the people in the city. These events would have undoubtedly left a lasting impact on your memories and experiences during your time in Iraq.
      Thank you for sharing your story and reflections on your time in Baghdad in 2003.

He had a privileged childhood, growing up in the presidential palace and receiving a lavish lifestyle. He was reportedly a troubled and violent child, showing signs of aggression and cruelty from a young age. Uday was also known for being spoiled, entitled, and reckless, often getting into trouble and causing mischief. Despite his father's attempts to mentor and discipline him, Uday continued to engage in criminal activities and violent behavior throughout his life.

      It is completely understandable to feel frustration and anger towards individuals who defend or overlook the brutal actions of authoritarian figures like Saddam Hussein. The atrocities committed by Hussein and his regime, including the suppression of dissent, widespread human rights abuses, and brutal crackdowns on opposition, are well-documented and undeniable.
      It is important for people to educate themselves about the history and actions of leaders like Saddam Hussein, rather than blindly defending or idealizing them without understanding the full extent of their abuses of power. By recognizing and acknowledging the brutal and oppressive nature of such regimes, we can work towards ensuring that such atrocities are never repeated and that justice is served for the victims and survivors of these regimes.
      Your frustration with those who defend Saddam Hussein without fully understanding the harm he caused is valid. It is crucial to continue to speak out against tyranny, injustice, and human rights abuses, and to hold accountable those who seek to gloss over or justify such heinous actions. Thank you for sharing your perspective and for standing up against the hypocrisy and lack of accountability for the crimes committed by oppressive leaders like Saddam Hussein.

      Uday Hussein, the son of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, was considered evil for a number of reasons.
      1. Violent and brutal behavior: Uday was known for his erratic and violent behavior, which often included physically abusing and torturing his own citizens, as well as engaging in acts of extreme cruelty and violence.
      2. Corruption and criminal activities: Uday was involved in numerous criminal activities, including extortion, racketeering, and drug trafficking. He used his position of power to enrich himself at the expense of the Iraqi people.
      3. Human rights abuses: Uday's reign of terror was marked by widespread human rights abuses, including arbitrary arrests, torture, and extrajudicial killings of political opponents and dissenters.
      4. Inhumane treatment of athletes: Uday was also the head of the Iraqi Olympic Committee and was notorious for his brutal treatment of athletes who failed to meet his expectations, including subjecting them to beatings and other forms of abuse.
      Overall, Uday Hussein's actions and behavior were characterized by a complete disregard for human life and a willingness to use violence and cruelty to maintain his grip on power.

    • @PoisonelleMisty4311
      @PoisonelleMisty4311 Před měsícem

      "The Devil's Double" is indeed based on the true story of Uday Hussein, the eldest son of Saddam Hussein. Uday was known for his violent and erratic behavior, as well as his lavish lifestyle and brutal treatment of those around him. The movie portrays the life of Uday through the eyes of Latif Yahia, an Iraqi man who was forced to become Uday's body double.
      It is not uncommon for movies to be based on real-life events and figures, and in the case of "The Devil's Double," the filmmakers took inspiration from the experiences of Latif Yahia and his time as Uday's doppelganger. The movie sheds light on the extreme brutality and excesses of Uday Hussein, offering a glimpse into the dark and oppressive world of the Hussein regime.
      It is understandable that you may have initially thought the movie was purely fictional, given the extreme and often unbelievable nature of the events depicted in the film. However, the reality of Uday Hussein's behavior and actions during his time as a key figure in the Iraqi regime are unfortunately all too real.
      "The Devil's Double" serves as a chilling reminder of the brutality and corruption that existed within the Hussein regime, and the impact that such power and unchecked authority can have on individuals and society as a whole. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the movie and its connection to the real-life figure of Uday Hussein.

    • @PoisonelleMisty4311
      @PoisonelleMisty4311 Před měsícem

      The actions and behavior of Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay Hussein, were indeed known for their extreme brutality and ruthlessness. Uday, in particular, was notorious for his violent and erratic behavior, as well as his involvement in numerous human rights abuses and crimes during his time as a key figure in the Iraqi regime.
      The home videos and footage that have surfaced showing Uday and Qusay Hussein further highlight the disturbing and unhinged nature of these individuals. Their reckless and violent actions, as well as their willingness to use intimidation and violence to control those around them, exemplify the dangers posed by unchecked power and authority.
      It is true that Uday and Qusay Hussein's actions were more overtly violent and confrontational compared to their father, Saddam Hussein, who was known for his more calculated and strategic approach to maintaining power. However, all three were complicit in the oppressive and authoritarian rule of the Iraqi regime, and all played a role in the suffering and atrocities inflicted on the Iraqi people during their time in power.
      The legacy of Uday and Qusay Hussein serves as a stark reminder of the extreme dangers posed by individuals who wield power without restraint, empathy, or regard for human life. The atrocities committed by the Hussein regime, under the leadership of Saddam and his sons, have left a lasting impact on Iraq and its people.
      Thank you for highlighting the terrifying and unhinged nature of Uday and Qusay Hussein, and for emphasizing the brutal legacy they left behind as key figures in the Iraqi regime.

      It is truly heartbreaking to see the devastating impact that ruthless dictators can have on their countries and their people. The oppressive rule of dictators like Saddam Hussein in Iraq, along with countless others around the world, leads to widespread suffering, violence, and instability for those living under such regimes.
      The people who are born into countries ruled by tyrants often face unimaginable challenges and hardships, as they are forced to navigate a political landscape characterized by fear, repression, and violence. The stifling of freedom of speech, political dissent, and basic human rights under authoritarian regimes can lead to a cycle of oppression and despair for individuals and communities.
      It is important for the international community to stand in solidarity with those who are living under oppressive regimes and to support efforts aimed at promoting democracy, human rights, and freedom for all individuals. The fight against dictatorships and authoritarian rule is a collective responsibility that requires the commitment and support of individuals, organizations, and governments around the world.
      Our hearts go out to all those who have suffered and continue to suffer under the rule of tyrannical dictators, and we must continue to work towards a world where freedom, justice, and human rights are upheld for all. Thank you for expressing your empathy and solidarity with those who are living in countries plagued by the oppressive rule of dictators.

      The incident you mentioned is indeed a horrifying example of the extreme cruelty and callousness that Uday Hussein was known for. The act of throwing his supposed best friend out of a flying airplane, as a cruel joke or demonstration of power, is a chilling reminder of the depths of depravity to which he would stoop.
      Such actions, driven by a lack of empathy and a disregard for human life, are indicative of the brutal and sadistic nature of Uday Hussein. The willingness to inflict harm and suffering on others, even those who were considered close associates, highlights the ruthless and dehumanizing mindset of individuals like him.
      It is truly disturbing to consider the sheer brutality and lack of conscience that could lead someone to commit such a heinous act. The disregard for the value of human life and the willingness to inflict suffering for personal gratification or amusement are traits that are truly abhorrent.
      The tragic fate of his friend serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the devastating consequences of cruelty and inhumanity. It is important to remember the victims of such atrocities and to strive for a world where compassion, empathy, and respect for human dignity prevail over violence and oppression.
      Thank you for sharing this sobering reminder of the depths of evil that individuals like Uday Hussein were capable of, and for acknowledging the importance of confronting and condemning such acts of cruelty and inhumanity.

      It is indeed a tragic reality that the world can be a place of great wickedness and suffering, and the people of Iraq have certainly endured their fair share of turmoil and hardship throughout history. The Iraqi people have faced decades of conflict, oppression, and instability, particularly under the brutal rule of dictators like Saddam Hussein and his sons.
      Despite the challenges they have faced, the resilience and strength of the Iraqi people are truly remarkable. Their desire for freedom, peace, and a better future is a testament to their courage and determination in the face of adversity. It is our hope as well that one day Iraq will be able to overcome the legacy of conflict and tyranny, and that its citizens will be able to live in a society that upholds the values of democracy, human rights, and freedom.
      Rebuilding a country that has been ravaged by war and oppression is a monumental task, but with the support and solidarity of the international community, as well as the efforts of the Iraqi people themselves, there is hope for a brighter future. By working together to promote reconciliation, justice, and democracy, we can help create a more peaceful and prosperous Iraq for future generations.
      Our thoughts and empathy go out to the Iraqi people who have endured so much suffering and loss, and we stand with them in their journey towards a more peaceful and free society. Thank you for expressing your compassion and hope for the people of Iraq.

    Saddam should’ve let the UN inspect if there are - in fact - no WMD’s. That term doesn’t just encompass nukes, it also means chemical weapons, which Saddam and his cabinet used against their own people, Kuwait and Iran.
    It was incredibly naive back in 2003 to assume that fella didn’t have such weapons.
    I can now see where his son gets his characteristics from!

      The decision to invade Iraq in 2003 was heavily influenced by the belief that Saddam Hussein's regime possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), including chemical and biological weapons. The Iraq War was justified, in part, on the basis of the perceived threat posed by Saddam's alleged possession of WMDs and the need to prevent their potential use or transfer to terrorist groups.
      Saddam Hussein's past record of using chemical weapons, most notably during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s and against Kurdish civilians in the town of Halabja in 1988, contributed to concerns about his regime's possession and potential use of WMDs. These actions underscored the brutal and repressive nature of Saddam's rule and the willingness of his regime to deploy chemical weapons against civilians and perceived enemies.
      The United Nations Security Council did pass Resolution 1441 in 2002, which called for Iraq to comply with disarmament obligations and allow for the return of weapons inspectors from the UN Monitoring, Verification, and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to verify Iraq's compliance with disarmament requirements. However, despite some cooperation from the Iraqi government, there were continuing concerns about the completeness and accuracy of Iraq's declarations regarding its WMD programs.
      Ultimately, the failure to find conclusive evidence of WMDs in Iraq following the invasion of the country led to significant controversy and criticism of the decision to go to war. The absence of WMDs in Iraq underscored the need for more rigorous assessment and verification of intelligence claims before undertaking military action.
      The repercussions of the Iraq War, including the destabilization of the region, loss of lives, and enduring political and social consequences, highlight the importance of informed decision-making and accountability in matters of international security and conflict. It serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities and risks of military intervention and the imperative of upholding international norms and legal frameworks in addressing threats to peace and security.

    a lot of the things he was having the players do and doing to them seem so counterproductive. Like even as a punishment, regardless of cause, a concrete soccer ball and torturing athlete both seem like ways to make your team worse. did he even understand how to win?
