1. Syria
Bashar al-Assad
Many reasons brought Assad to the first place of this list of the countries with dictatorships today (or on their way to dictatorships). As you may have immediately guessed, the most important reason is actually the Syrian Civil war that started rising in 2011, becoming worse day by day, with hundred thousands of victims. Assad came to power in 2000, abandoning his career of an eye-doctor, and becoming probably the cruelest dictator of the modern age, making Syria the best example of a country with dictatorship today.
