When we talk about Barack Obama, we are not talking about an ordinary president, but about a man who changed the face of the Middle East — only toward chaos and destruction. During his eight years in power (2009–2017), his policies were full of contradictions, and his military decisions left behind rivers of blood and millions of refugees.
One of Obama’s most notorious legacies is the drone strike program, which carried out more than 563 attacks in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, and Afghanistan, killing thousands of innocent civilians — including women and children. He personally reviewed a “kill list,” as if he were controlling death from afar.

As for Guantanamo Bay, it remained open despite his promises to close it. Unlawful detentions continued, representing a blatant violation of human rights.
