8. Sudan
Omar al-Bashir
Being the leader of the military coup in 1989, which is considered one of the cruelest coups in history, Bashir came to power and became the president of Sudan. When you mention the word “dictator”, he is probably among the first to come to mind, since he is one of those atrocious and merciless dictators today. He is involved with the civil war and genocide and is considered to be guilty of deaths of more than millions of people overall. However, he is still there, though the UN issued an international arrest warrant.
