Uday Hussein Biography

Uday Hussein is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on June 18, 1964 in Tikrit, Saladin Province, Iraq.

In 1984, Saddam appointed Uday chairman of the Iraqi Olympic Committee and the Iraq Football Association. In the former role, he tortured athletes who failed to win. Furthermore, he founded his own sports club called Al-Rasheed and signed all the best players from the country to play for the club as they went on to dominate Iraqi football until their dissolving in 1990. He also became the editor of the Babel newspaper, the general secretary of the Iraqi Union of Students and the head of the Fedayeen Saddam. He was also the Head of the Iraq Journalists Union. His newspaper, Babel, was known for carrying Western reports on Iraq’s conflict with the United States and was said to be the most influential newspaper in the country. Uday Hussein also had a television channel, Youth TV (Al-Shabab), which aired reports by other Arab channels not usually heard on Iraq’s state-run media. Iraq’s most popular radio station was Voice of Youth, owned by Uday, the only radio that played Western music. Uday seemed proud of his reputation and called himself Abu Sarhan, an Arabic term for “wolf”.

Latif Yahia, who claims to be Uday’s body double, said, “The word that defines him is sadistic. I think Saddam Hussein was more human than Uday. The Olympic Committee was not a sports center, it was Uday’s world.” In November 1987, Latif said, “I saw many rapes. He raped and killed women, and then killed her parents if they complained. I witnessed many murders. Uday had raped one of the Baghdad Beauty Queens and her father complained to Saddam. He ordered me to kill him. I refused and instead cut my wrists.” He said that “The Devil’s Double”, based on his memories, is only 20% of the truth.
