Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed politicians of his generation.
Popular politician Omar al-Bashir has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Bashir, a cultural icon
Born Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir in Hosh Bonnaga on January 1, 1944, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Sudanese history. Bashir's not just a great politician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Omar hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Omar al-Bashir as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.
Happy Birthday, Omar, you're the best!
