Raghad, the daughter of Saddam Hussein, posted a tweet on the anniversary of the founding of the Arab Socialist Baath Party, which her father once led in Iraq. In her tweet, she mentioned that “Iraq is being built by skulls, and blood is destroying the world and not being destroyed… Happy April 7th.” The party was founded on April 7, 1947, when Baath comrades from several Arab countries gathered for a national conference. The Baath Party aimed to create a unitary, mass Arab party that would liberate the Arab nation, provide freedom, justice, and equality, and transfer it from weakness to strength and from fragmentation to unity.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Raghad, the daughter of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, published a tweet on the occasion of the April 7 anniversary (the anniversary of the founding of the Arab Socialist Baath Party), which her father headed in Iraq.

The tweet by Saddam Hussein’s daughter, Raghad, on the occasion of the April 7 anniversary of the founding of the Arab Socialist Baath Party has caused controversy. Her words have brought attention to the strong emotions still felt by many in the Arab world towards the party. While some in the region credit the party with uniting Arab countries and fighting colonialism, others see it as a symbol of oppression and dictatorship. Regardless of one’s stance, it remains an important part of Arab history and serves as a reminder of the region’s complex political past.
