Saddam's Foreign Affairs

For foreign affairs that concern to Saddam Hussein al-Majid al-Tikriti, he looked forward to having his country to play a major role in the Middle East where Iraq is located. As Iraq's president he signed with the Soviet Union with an aide contract in the year 1972, and weaponry were shipped along with several thousand committee members . Due to, the 1978 severely repressive actions on Iraqi communists and a change of direction of exchange toward the West constricted Iraqi relations with the Soviet Union. The country Iraq afterwards accepted on more Western orientation until the war of 1991 called the Persian Gulf war. After an oil crisis in 1973, the country France had changed to a more top level Arab policy and was immediately rewarded by Saddam Hussein al-Majid al-Tikriti with a bond of trust. Saddam Hussein al-Majid al-Tikriti made a contribution visit to the country France in the year 1976, firmly determining the bond of trust with some French business and ruling political circles.

He was so overconfident of himself that he responded to the judge "I am Saddam Hussein, the president of Iraq." The preliminary charges was that Saddam Hussein al-Majid al-Tikriti was faced by "the killing of religious figures in 1974; gassing of Kurds in Halabja in 1988; killing the Kurdish Barzani clan in 1983; killing members of political parties in the last 30 years; the 1986-88 ''Anfal'' campaign of displacing Kurds; the suppression of the 1991 uprisings by Kurds and Shiites; and the 1990 invasion of Kuwait."

Saddam Becoming President and as President

In the year 1976, Saddam Hussein upgraded to the general position for the armed forces of Iraqi, and quickly became the headman of the government. For the slow and week, elderly al-Bakr was no able to continue his duties, Saddam took on a higher well know role as the representative of the government both operating within and outside of the country. Saddam eventually became the Iraq's foreign policy’s creator and in all tactful situations represented the nation. Saddam eventually had to strengthen position in the process of controlling over the Ba'ath party in Iraq's government. Connections with other party units were proceeded to develop acquaintance, and Saddam eventually increase a strong circle of support within the unit. In the year 1979, al-Bakr began to arrange pacts with the country Syria which would continue toward to the act of uniting between the two nations. The President of Syrian Hafez al-Assad was promoted to deputy leader in a union, and this would make Saddam to have unclearness. Saddam immediately secured his control on being the headman. Saddam was forced to the poor condition of al-Bakr to leave presidency on July 16, 1979, and became elected to the presidency. On July 22, 1979, he arranges a meeting to a gathering of Ba'ath party leaders. While in the gathering, which Saddam had recorded on cameras, Saddam had recently been notified of the traitors in the room and read out loud the 68 people. These members were considered traitors and were arrested one by one. After the 68 people were arrested, Saddam announced that he was proud to those still in the room for their loyalty.
