She is delusional, even after her father killed the father of her kids, she still covers for him. She is truly her father's daughter. She took his character
The husband of her kids was a high ranking general in the Iraqi army, and he defected to an enemy state, with classified intel. He then actively worked with Iraqs enemies against Iraq. He was a treasonous POS who betrayed both his family and country. Saddam, as head of state, who has a responsibility to his country and people, chose to execute that criminal. I would think less of Saddam and his daughter if they didn't kill him.
She was a daughter of president, a Commander-in-chief. Refer back to her recollection on war and going to school; in addition she was a wife of a military man, do you expect all those ups and downs, threats and trainings they undergo are in vain in shaping their character and personality!
Polite & gentlemanly yes but not an OBJECTIVE journalist keen on getting to the bottom of reasons behind events his questions threw light on. He sounds more like an appeaser. I am not saying that he should've made Ms. Hussein uncomfortable or coerce her into explaining the decision father made (good or bad) but the least he could have done was find out EXACTLY the reason why Hussein Kamel made the fatal decision to defect to Jordan (a subject they talked about). This woman is a witness to events and most likely knows the EXACT reasons behind those decisions which affected the middle east for decades to come and the post cold war world. The journalist brilliantly wasted this once in a 50 years interview by not pressing a little harder. He could have uncovered much more without making her uncomfortable. Please note that Miss. Hussein doesn't live in a free country. She may not speak again. But it is a pleasant interview, just not very informative. I hope she writes a book which the Jordanians don't censor.

execution is a normal practice of punishment for those who commit betrayal or rivalry to the leaders in arab world.it is.not madness..it is a norm and practiced.you may refer this same practice since the years of turkish in power. for her, it is also nornal thats why she could be open about it. it is up to saddam to instruct an execution and of course with proof of betrayal.
Very honest women, answered the questions with some difficulty which is natural as it's your father your talking about, but spoke like a real Arab women, she will slap today's Arab leaders if she had the chance.
The journalist is so calm and in 26 minutes he removed so much information from her.And others just keep barking for hours and can't even takeout their lovers name.😂😂. Great work.
I hate your perspective. An interviewer shouldnt have an agenda and focus on targeting their guests, they should talk and discuss within the boundaries that the guests are comfortable to put out. not “extract information” by being a speech trickster
As an Iranian army officer in the war, I followed the news regularly, and have known the details of the story she described here. But, still, It sounds something like a plot for a movie. The story is so fantastic, that sounds unreal. Great interview, professionally made, and honor to this very strong lady.
"Oh, East is East and West is West!" Perhaps. But even a Westerner, a Western woman, must respect the decency and truthfulness of Mme. Hussein, trying to be just both to the loves and loyalties of personal life and the life of the community. which transcends it.
Such a dignified and civilised interview ! Today most of the journalists are irritating and ill mannered chasing after the count of the views. Today news means entertainment and competing with movie makers ! But this guy is at another level. Keep it up. Save journalism from disgrace. And the lady is a fighter! Extremely graceful and poised. Her emotions can be felt but dealt it like a royal. You are a queen.
24:02 You can see the pain and tears in her eyes.I think when it comes to the subject of her husband's killing she was absolutely sincere.She did confirm Oday played a role,the clan had a role,her father could definetly stop it but did not and she presented the events just the way she knows about.I am sure she does not know all details in full as well,just what she heard.
Her husband should not have betrayed her father in first place. Saddam trusted him with higher job position and gave him his daughter to married, only for him to go to Jordan and reveal the country security secret. He was responsible for the American attacking Iraq, because of revelations. If I was her, I would have standing by my father decision. You do not betray your family. Husband is not your blood.
Its amazing how come all of a sudden Saddam and his family were loving,kind,caring,concerned and hated warfare against others...just ask the kurd children and women,the Iranian civilians,the Shias in Basra,most of Iraqi politcians and many Iraqi families ...!
Iraqis are extremely emotional about the era she comes from and that is completely understandable. There was painful times and good times and thats how everything is in life. I think we humans tend to be illogical in our assumption that when some person party rules, were going to be saved. Thats just not true. This powerful family is the type of family that had the biggest impact on Iraq. Good bad and all of it. We just have to accept it and move on. Bring justice where its required and stop the mindless obsession over the past.
100 times Better past than Present disintegrated lawless Islamist Terrorist poverty induced state is the fact nostalgia with Saddam's Iraq .No thanks to the English and Americans main cause of Iraq misery !
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview, you both were very courageous people. She did not beat the Bush and come out frankly and truthfully. Of course, everything could not have been disclosed.
Wow, great interview, better to hear direct than one that is written by journalist that you don’t know if it is trustworthy. Gives lots of insight to the man Saddam Hussein and his principles and upbringing of his children. Respect.
Not everything that we read in history books or is painted in the vast media, is true. Sometimes stories are created for the sake of some nefarious motive, and at times to create enigma.
Thanks! It is nice to be with Raghad Saddam Hussein and hearing from her some of the details about her Father and the entire Family. She is the only reliable source to find out about the truth of what was going on in Iraq during her father leadership...!
She has my upmost respect. Her deep respect for her parents is unquestionable. She has a strong mind. Honouring your father and mother is one of the first commandments.
Disgusting. Asians love to give power to sons and daughters-even if its not a monarchy. So toxic. A person should earn authority with their own abilities, knowledge and ethics - not simply bcs she is a daughter.
Baath Will Rule Iraq Again! All US and Nato troops Shall Leave Iraq and MiddleEast! Israelis Shall Leave Palestine and Return to The Countries Where They Came From!
That’s what my dr friend is telling me and she is Iraqi and lives in the US so she’s free to say what she wants. Now, she says Saddam days were definitely better and that if Raghad becomes a president or goes back she will be killed. She also says that what’s going on now in cruelty and torture is worse than Saddam days.
Yes that is what i wanted to find out too. The dramas made tell that Hussein Kamel was making money out of paperless arms deal for the military and was caught by Uday. The Al-Arabiya interviewer should have focused more on the reasons. She didn't even mention Saudi Arabia or UAE once in these interviews.
She didn't need to address it, everyone knows the reason why, it was for his and saddam kamel treason in defecting to Jordan with SH daughters and working with UNSCOM and western intelligence and western media about the torture taking place, about details of the regime and its military weapon arsenal etc etc. doesn’t get any more basic than thst
@@jordanalandry1866 What weapons, what arsenal ? The Govts version was that the brothers were making money from the oil trade and stashing money in Jordan and when they got a whiff that they would be busted, they packed & ran.
@@sohaibshehzad2052 Iraq had weapons, military weapons the defector was the brains behind, why you think he was working with UNSCOM and western intel? The info he gave was of no value and they already had, so they was not able to glean any money out of working as assets to any of the above, the Iraqi exiles rejected them as they were both integral parts of the heavy handedness and brutalities of the regime and def weren’t fucking altar boys, so they found life under asylum in Jordan to be less than optimal and sought to mend fences and return to the good graces of the regime in Iraq under presidential pardon this is all readily available information that was covered at the time and since in great detail
Why on earth would the sons-in-law return to Iraq? Insanity. Surely, they had to know what was awaiting them. Did they really think all would be peaches and cream upon their return? The daughter is lying. She convinced her husband that all would be forgiven and fine.
Here are the questions that should be asked America: 🔷Where is the dangerous weapon that America claimed to be made by Saddam? 🔷Who is responsible for the hundreds of thousands of casualties ? 🔷who has given right to America to invade other countries? 🔷What did America achieve by invading Iraq ?
First time to listen to a lady from a culture that women’s view is not respected. As a woman and Iraqi born I have respect for her. She is the innocent one yet pay the heavy price, on the other hand her brothers was the one ignored their father’s rules troubling so many lives in particular women and young girls.
It is just a nightmare for her - during the final moments of her husband and his brother. It is hard to believe! God bless Their Souls - I really feel sorry about them. I wish that never happened! I feel about them just like members of my own family and I am very proud to feel like that about them. Indeed! They are wonderful people.
Raghad Hussein is in great pain during the last 6 minutes of this episode. Power comes with fortunes and tragedies.....i wish this lady a long, healthy & peaceful life. Stay away from politics. It will bring you nothing. You've already lost much.
@@Ahmed-vw3iw Kurds who were seeking separation from Iraq. That isn't an innocent act. Every state behaves that way to armed separatists. Turkey, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, India.....even countries in Europe. However Hussein's tactics are debatable.
Islamic Pakistan had all the warning signs to rid Binny L and his jihad's 1993 WTC? American embassy in east african USA airforce base Riyad Saudis revoked his citizenship, Sudan kicked him out Even today Imran Khan called Binny L a Martyr for the ummah He brought death and destruction Kabul to Karachi Mecca to Marrakesh But when Islam held military might they invaded unprovoked from India to Spain KARMA is working its course You believers set out to destroy all other faiths so only yours would dominate General Saddam peace and blessings be upon him He waged an eight year war on Islamic iran He buried over five hundred thousand arabis in the desert I see no crime , this man has done no wrong
@@sohaibshehzad2052 debatable?? I am not talking about kurdish insurgents but innocent Kurdish civilians who were punished collectively , thousands of Kurdish villages were bombed women, children and even young boys died at the hands of this criminal regime who had no distinction for civilians vs combatants. 50,000 killed another million homeless...if someone did that to your family and relatives would you keep quiet and accept no crimes happened? Chemical Ali in one incident even ordered killing of women and children and burying many alive, he was even worse than saddam. Chemical Ali has the curse of thousands of his victims and now he is dead being punished severely!! By the way Saddams regime was Baathist Nationalist ideology and he thought like Stalin and he imprisoned and killed even Sunni Islamic people out of suspicion...so bloodthirsty this regime to stay in power was that even father didn't talk to their son about the regime for fear that his son might be a spy for government. The same goes to the Assad Baathist regime in Syria, they are worse than Americans and even Israelis when it comes to killing civilians...these are enemies of Muskim ummah we should get rid of first before confronting external enemies. Right now the muslim world has only few good leaders like Erdogan, Imran khan and Qatar King. Rest are all greedy corrupt and collaborate even with Israel for staying in power. Iranian regime is enemy for Sunni muslims around the Middleeast and needs to be overthrown.
@@Ahmed-vw3iw There was no collective punishment. Kurds were present even in Saddam's party, and every level of government. When a certain section of an ethnicity starts are rebellion and claims to represent everyone, it causes tragedies and people who are not directly involved are caught in between. I am a confirmed democrat who opposes the kind of exclusive system which Saddam Hussein presided over(no matter how much welfare and public works it offers) but i try to keep exaggerations like (innocent people, killed millions without exceptions) away from my understanding of history.
She seems to be liar as everyone was good in Saddam family and the angels were killing the innocent people. His father killed his husband but she is blaming the clan. His brother Udhey(Rascal) was the main beneficiary of the death of his husband.
My tears fall daily when I see the leader Saddam Hussein, and my tears fall more. I see a real picture in Iraq. He says that the hair of my head, even if it was not for fear of those who rule Iraq now, I would build the statue again. In short, they suffer every day because they lost this leader and they are now ruled by militias, bandits and gangs.
My love for my father is unparalleled these statements make me cry 😭😭😭😭 yes he is a mad man but i believe in the quote in the movie of transformer " No sacrifice No victory"
Why should people cry in front of you in order for you to consider them humans?? It sounds like you're the robot. You should already know that a lot of people only cry when they are alone
Shez very calculative about the information she gives about her husband and father feud She didn’t confirm or deny it but we know much more than she is willing to give out to the public
Very-very interesting video! I must watch this again to find out exactly what was the problem regarding her husband's execution. I just feel very sorry about her - the tragic end of her husband at the young age. God bless her and her children, also God bless the other surviving members of her family. Very nice and graceful Lady 🌹🥀🌷Dear Raghad I like to give you these Roses to appreciate your intelligent presentation about your Family and your country Iraq. God bless you!
I still can't forget the way Saddam Hussein died, at that time I had little knowledge about the conflicts in Iraq. Honestly I cried and up until now I still think he didn't deserve it.
He was despotic, he got what he deserved. He used to cut hands and fingers and hands off people. His sons were horrid. My cousins used to run into buildings and hide if they were going to school. If Udai drove he would pick up girls and rape them. It happened, then he would have principals show him year books so he could get girls, when she didn’t he killed her. That family is the worse.
Her father was a bloodthirsty ANIMAL. SEARCH ABOUT HALABCHE AND USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST CHILDREN AND INNOCENT CIVILIANS. there is many videos in TH-cam about HALABCHE. A shame for all humanity.
He loved her soo much everyone know that in Iraq and sge loved him more than her husband thats why this lady get attacked alot from Iran supporters till now
The husband betrayed her fatter by giving all the country security information in Jordan to the Americans. Any man who betrayed my father deserve death. I am my father’s blood no one else. My loyal is with him not husband.
@@sohaibshehzad2052 we have to get through the part of her husband being killed thats not her fault or her dads or even his own fault, amazing bullshit. stay tuned
Unfortunately Saddam did mistake; He did not know that Khomeini is CIA guy and America will help Khomeini not to lose war with Saddam. However ;eventually America gifted Iraq to Iran
I'm not a political person. It's not something I can wrap my head around, since I don't believe its something worth using my time and energy on. But as I'm an Iraqi who grew up in a household who were pretty angry and bitter towards the past Saddam Hussein was responsible for, I've come to wonder recently, after debates with many of my friends who otherwise find Saddam as a powerful and courageous man, if he really was as bad or if my family always understood him wrong.
Great interview. She has the charisma and speaks very decent. I was early 20s during Iraq war and the most outstanding as I can remember during the war is Mr. Muhammad Saeed al Sahhaf, the information Minister. Also known as Comical Ali for his funny character and nonsense statement in front journalist. Hopefully Al Arabiya can conduct an interview with him after this
A great interview...at first I thought the journalist was being too evasive by not asking her the most important questions.......why did Raghad chose the side of her father instead of her husband and did she lure him back from Jordan knowing he would be executed.He also subtly reminded her that as perpetual dictator,Sadaam had the ultimate decision on Kamals life or death as he was his son in law,father to his grandchildren,a senior general and his second in command before his defection....its sad she wanted to avoid a bloodbath but in the end it was very bloody for the whole Saddam family......my question is,...was it all worth it?
Seems like a good woman caught up in the crossfire of being the daughter of a King. It’s just quite unfortunate that she had to go through all that. I will say though that when you dance with the devil the outcome will always be a painful one.
@Tralalalala Opaaa I’m using the biblical definition of what a King is. A king is the leader of the Land and one who sets the Laws. Saddam was that. I wouldn’t expect you to understand cause I’m sure you don’t read the Bible.
@@tree3y763 Saddam was the dumbest arab leader in the modern history. His foreign policies were dubious, he made enemies with pretty much all his neighbors, even the neutral country of lebanon by arming the separatists christian militias and other anti government and anti syria militias during the lebanese civil war. And as a result of the constant war state that Saddam put his country into, iraq quickly plunged into poverty and fell behind on development. Coupled with the sanctions, iraqis were LITERALLY starving. As for his internal policies, he ruled iraq with an iron grip, abusing his powers to suppress all the other factions such as the kurds, the shia, the communists, the arab baathists, the tribes… he turned iraq into a police state, hence the high levels of corruption and the incompetency of the iraqi institutions and the iraqi army. Now i dunno about you, but saddam sounds like an awful leader. Yet this here woman believes that her father was a good leader. And there’s only one explanation for that, she’s living in an alternative universe, the one she was describing in this interview.
I'm shocked at the number of comments calling her "strong" and "brave." She is the daughter of a dictator who ruthlessly killed and tortured. The mothers and fathers who lost their children were strong, the families who fled were strong, the peshmerga were strong...She still wishes her dad was in power murdering and torturing people... She is nothing to me. Shame on her.
Of a government in exile most likely. She is now playing into the hands of those who had her father toppled and destroyed. She didn't mention Saudi Arabia once.
@@laithjackson Iraq mayyybe was respected, before Saddam’s tyranny was wide known. We are talking about 1990s. Since than many has changed. West set the bar of equality, decency and human rights high. Respected countries of 21st century will be the progressive, inovative, open minded. She, and antics of her father, doesn’t have to do anything in the future of Iraq.
This interviewer is such a romantic. If this wasn't in a professional setting, he'd probably lay on his tummy with his hands on his chin and kicking his legs in the air behind him, whilst gazing dreamily at her as she tells her love story
She was very polite and respectful! Very good interview.
It was beaten in her to talk liker her daddy's whores.
She is delusional, even after her father killed the father of her kids, she still covers for him. She is truly her father's daughter. She took his character
She is a disgusting woman defending her father for war crimes against Iraqi Shias and Kurds.

I would think less of Saddam and his daughter if they didn't kill him.
Yes, and knowing he committed Genocide with chemical weapons in Halabjah in 1988.
her husband was a traitor. she knows he would have betrayed her too, the same way he betrayed his father in law and his nation.

Look like you guys must be netizen from America ( The BIGGEST Oppressor @ TERRORIST country) huh ?
Why can't we all live in peace 😔 😪
أشعر أيضًا أنها كذبت عندما قالت إن حسين يريد العودة، لكن رغد ضغطت على حسين للعودة إلى العراق وقادتهم إلى حتفهم.
Please upload all 6 parts of the interview with English subtitles
Iraqis are extremely emotional about the era she comes from and that is completely understandable. There was painful times and good times and thats how everything is in life. I think we humans tend to be illogical in our assumption that when some person party rules, were going to be saved. Thats just not true. This powerful family is the type of family that had the biggest impact on Iraq. Good bad and all of it. We just have to accept it and move on. Bring justice where its required and stop the mindless obsession over the past.
It's the same story with all the dictators & their families. They just don't handover power at the right time to their citizens.
Unfortunately that will never happen because Iraqis are incredibly emotional over this period
100 times Better past than Present disintegrated lawless Islamist Terrorist poverty induced state is the fact nostalgia with Saddam's Iraq .No thanks to the English and Americans main cause of Iraq misery !
@@opuntian ,Replace a just uncorrupt Secure system with Islamist hellhole Terrorist den not exactly progress !
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview, you both were very courageous people. She did not beat the Bush and come out frankly and truthfully. Of course, everything could not have been disclosed.
Wow, great interview, better to hear direct than one that is written by journalist that you don’t know if it is trustworthy.
Gives lots of insight to the man Saddam Hussein and his principles and upbringing of his children. Respect.
Not everything that we read in history books or is painted in the vast media, is true. Sometimes stories are created for the sake of some nefarious motive, and at times to create enigma.
Called propaganda
To every professional journalist out there if u need tips on how to conduct an objective interview watch this u might learn a few things. well done
Wow, what a great interview.
🌺🙏🌺
I’m from Iran , respect

Thanks! It is nice to be with Raghad Saddam Hussein and hearing from her some of the details about her Father and the entire Family. She is the only reliable source to find out about the truth of what was going on in Iraq during her father leadership...!
She has my upmost respect. Her deep respect for her parents is unquestionable. She has a strong mind. Honouring your father and mother is one of the first commandments.
Not when they do Wrong children obey your parents in the Lord
love the way she expressed herself
Whatta great job done by the journalist! Clapppp
Raghad Saddam Hussein next President of Iraq inshaAllah
Disgusting. Asians love to give power to sons and daughters-even if its not a monarchy. So toxic. A person should earn authority with their own abilities, knowledge and ethics - not simply bcs she is a daughter.
Baath Will Rule Iraq Again!
All US and Nato troops Shall Leave Iraq and MiddleEast!
Israelis Shall Leave Palestine and Return to The Countries Where They Came From!
th-cam.com/video/b3ncLJp0JRg/w-d-xo.html
That’s what my dr friend is telling me and she is Iraqi and lives in the US so she’s free to say what she wants. Now, she says Saddam days were definitely better and that if Raghad becomes a president or goes back she will be killed. She also says that what’s going on now in cruelty and torture is worse than Saddam days.
Iraq has had enough from Sadam, no way in hell is she going to become the next president.
Good interview
Then some court found her guilty for it.
She didn't answer the reason why there was a feud between Kamel and Saddam to begin with.
Yes that is what i wanted to find out too. The dramas made tell that Hussein Kamel was making money out of paperless arms deal for the military and was caught by Uday. The Al-Arabiya interviewer should have focused more on the reasons. She didn't even mention Saudi Arabia or UAE once in these interviews.
She didn't need to address it, everyone knows the reason why, it was for his and saddam kamel treason in defecting to Jordan with SH daughters and working with UNSCOM and western intelligence and western media about the torture taking place, about details of the regime and its military weapon arsenal etc etc. doesn’t get any more basic than thst
@@jordanalandry1866 What weapons, what arsenal ? The Govts version was that the brothers were making money from the oil trade and stashing money in Jordan and when they got a whiff that they would be busted, they packed & ran.
@@sohaibshehzad2052 Iraq had weapons, military weapons the defector was the brains behind, why you think he was working with UNSCOM and western intel? The info he gave was of no value and they already had, so they was not able to glean any money out of working as assets to any of the above, the Iraqi exiles rejected them as they were both integral parts of the heavy handedness and brutalities of the regime and def weren’t fucking altar boys, so they found life under asylum in Jordan to be less than optimal and sought to mend fences and return to the good graces of the regime in Iraq under presidential pardon this is all readily available information that was covered at the time and since in great detail
@@sohaibshehzad2052 Exactly. But it backfired. There was no tiff.
Why on earth would the sons-in-law return to Iraq? Insanity. Surely, they had to know what was awaiting them. Did they really think all would be peaches and cream upon their return? The daughter is lying. She convinced her husband that all would be forgiven and fine.
Here are the questions that should be asked America:
🔷Where is the dangerous weapon that America claimed to be made by Saddam?
🔷Who is responsible for the hundreds of thousands of casualties ?
🔷who has given right to America to invade other countries?
🔷What did America achieve by invading Iraq ?
First time to listen to a lady from a culture that women’s view is not respected. As a woman and Iraqi born I have respect for her. She is the innocent one yet pay the heavy price, on the other hand her brothers was the one ignored their father’s rules troubling so many lives in particular women and young girls.
When are you going to upload the other parts?
It has been a week now, no more parts with English subtitles.
Great interview
Great interviewer. Asked all the difficult questions without offending her, hence allowing her to give very honest answers. Gripping interview.
Really classy woman 👌
Are you up for it then ? I’ve had a word with her and she’s free no attachments
Very nice interview.
Just because your father was good to you and to his other dears, doesn't make him a good leader or human being.
It is just a nightmare for her - during the final moments of her husband and his brother. It is hard to believe! God bless Their Souls - I really feel sorry about them. I wish that never happened! I feel about them just like members of my own family and I am very proud to feel like that about them. Indeed! They are wonderful people.
But her husband was killed by her own father.
A courageous daughter of a true strong leader.
She should run for Iraq presidency
No god forbid
@drc ula I don’t think any Iraqi would vote for her
@@xgn7301 they will most likely try and kill her
@drc ula some of them may.
Raghad Hussein is in great pain during the last 6 minutes of this episode. Power comes with fortunes and tragedies.....i wish this lady a long, healthy & peaceful life. Stay away from politics. It will bring you nothing. You've already lost much.
Her father and his regime killed thousands of innocents especially kurds...Allah swt punishes every Zalim
@@Ahmed-vw3iw Kurds who were seeking separation from Iraq. That isn't an innocent act. Every state behaves that way to armed separatists. Turkey, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, India.....even countries in Europe. However Hussein's tactics are debatable.
Islamic Pakistan had all the warning signs to rid Binny L and his jihad's
1993 WTC? American embassy in east african
USA airforce base Riyad
Saudis revoked his citizenship, Sudan kicked him out
Even today Imran Khan called Binny L a Martyr for the ummah
He brought death and destruction Kabul to Karachi Mecca to Marrakesh
But when Islam held military might they invaded unprovoked from India to Spain
KARMA is working its course
You believers set out to destroy all other faiths so only yours would dominate
General Saddam peace and blessings be upon him
He waged an eight year war on Islamic iran
He buried over five hundred thousand arabis in the desert
I see no crime , this man has done no wrong
@@sohaibshehzad2052 debatable?? I am not talking about kurdish insurgents but innocent Kurdish civilians who were punished collectively , thousands of Kurdish villages were bombed women, children and even young boys died at the hands of this criminal regime who had no distinction for civilians vs combatants. 50,000 killed another million homeless...if someone did that to your family and relatives would you keep quiet and accept no crimes happened? Chemical Ali in one incident even ordered killing of women and children and burying many alive, he was even worse than saddam. Chemical Ali has the curse of thousands of his victims and now he is dead being punished severely!!
By the way Saddams regime was Baathist Nationalist ideology and he thought like Stalin and he imprisoned and killed even Sunni Islamic people out of suspicion...so bloodthirsty this regime to stay in power was that even father didn't talk to their son about the regime for fear that his son might be a spy for government. The same goes to the Assad Baathist regime in Syria, they are worse than Americans and even Israelis when it comes to killing civilians...these are enemies of Muskim ummah we should get rid of first before confronting external enemies. Right now the muslim world has only few good leaders like Erdogan, Imran khan and Qatar King. Rest are all greedy corrupt and collaborate even with Israel for staying in power. Iranian regime is enemy for Sunni muslims around the Middleeast and needs to be overthrown.
@@Ahmed-vw3iw There was no collective punishment. Kurds were present even in Saddam's party, and every level of government. When a certain section of an ethnicity starts are rebellion and claims to represent everyone, it causes tragedies and people who are not directly involved are caught in between. I am a confirmed democrat who opposes the kind of exclusive system which Saddam Hussein presided over(no matter how much welfare and public works it offers) but i try to keep exaggerations like (innocent people, killed millions without exceptions) away from my understanding of history.
She seems to be liar as everyone was good in Saddam family and the angels were killing the innocent people. His father killed his husband but she is blaming the clan. His brother Udhey(Rascal) was the main beneficiary of the death of his husband.
Not just the two brothers. They executed the entire family. It was rage printed all over.
Interviewr is genious and styled calm
Where can one get the rest of the interview? Any links, please?
An excellent interview
My tears fall daily when I see the leader Saddam Hussein, and my tears fall more. I see a real picture in Iraq. He says that the hair of my head, even if it was not for fear of those who rule Iraq now, I would build the statue again. In short, they suffer every day because they lost this leader and they are now ruled by militias, bandits and gangs.
Great father who raised up a strong & wise daughter
My love for my father is unparalleled these statements make me cry 😭😭😭😭 yes he is a mad man but i believe in the quote in the movie of transformer " No sacrifice No victory"
Am not sure if I should call her strong or programmed. Not a tear! No emotions at all.. what a life 😔
Not everyone like to show emotions publicly plus it's been many years.
Women from war torn cointries are sttonger than US veterans. US veterans suffer mental health issues. These women don't.
Why should people cry in front of you in order for you to consider them humans?? It sounds like you're the robot. You should already know that a lot of people only cry when they are alone
Shez very calculative about the information she gives about her husband and father feud
She didn’t confirm or deny it but we know much more than she is willing to give out to the public
Where is the rest of this interview??
Very-very interesting video! I must watch this again to find out exactly what was the problem regarding her husband's execution. I just feel very sorry about her - the tragic end of her husband at the young age. God bless her and her children, also God bless the other surviving members of her family. Very nice and graceful Lady
🌹🥀🌷Dear Raghad I like to give you these Roses to appreciate your intelligent presentation about your Family and your country Iraq. God bless you!
Where is part 3?
Why did he go back, unbelievable how stupid he was to beleive they’ll be nice to him.
والله اكون اول الراجعين الى بغداد اذا الله اراد ورجعت
I still can't forget the way Saddam Hussein died, at that time I had little knowledge about the conflicts in Iraq. Honestly I cried and up until now I still think he didn't deserve it.
He was despotic, he got what he deserved. He used to cut hands and fingers and hands off people. His sons were horrid. My cousins used to run into buildings and hide if they were going to school. If Udai drove he would pick up girls and rape them. It happened, then he would have principals show him year books so he could get girls, when she didn’t he killed her. That family is the worse.
@@thezmanchar His son does not = saddam and he also punished his son by shooting him in the leg so no worries
She claims her father respected her and yet he murdered her husband. She is not believable.
Her father was a bloodthirsty
ANIMAL.
SEARCH ABOUT HALABCHE
AND USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST CHILDREN AND INNOCENT CIVILIANS.
there is many videos in TH-cam about HALABCHE.
A shame for all humanity.
He loved her soo much everyone know that in Iraq and sge loved him more than her husband thats why this lady get attacked alot from Iran supporters till now
@@kamranahoora7670 shut up you know nothing we were at the best part of our life we were saved Iraq now is disgusting
The husband betrayed her fatter by giving all the country security information in Jordan to the Americans. Any man who betrayed my father deserve death. I am my father’s blood no one else. My loyal is with him not husband.
@@kamranahoora7670 her husband litrelly betrayed his own country doesn't that deserve capital punishment?
next she will be telling us how kind udai n qusai were
Literally 😂😂🙄
When is that part coming?
@@visible8498 stay tuned
@@drissgreen1280 never heard any graphic story about Qusai.
@@sohaibshehzad2052 we have to get through the part of her husband being killed thats not her fault or her dads or even his own fault, amazing bullshit. stay tuned
She is pretty, and very clean but ruthless like her father. She tricked her husband into returning to Iraq and she knew he was going to be killed.

Unfortunately Saddam did mistake;
He did not know that Khomeini is CIA guy and America will help Khomeini not to lose war with Saddam.
However ;eventually America gifted Iraq to Iran
A final n bitter truth
@@shifa6874
The truth is USA created Shia crescent in middle east against Sunni Arab countries .
Khomani was helped by Ragan . Iran gate scandal
America helped Saddam, he had CIA training there. They only did that because they thought Iran was a bigger threat!
I'm not a political person. It's not something I can wrap my head around, since I don't believe its something worth using my time and energy on. But as I'm an Iraqi who grew up in a household who were pretty angry and bitter towards the past Saddam Hussein was responsible for, I've come to wonder recently, after debates with many of my friends who otherwise find Saddam as a powerful and courageous man, if he really was as bad or if my family always understood him wrong.
I have no sympathy for that family at all whatsoever
Great interview. She has the charisma and speaks very decent. I was early 20s during Iraq war and the most outstanding as I can remember during the war is Mr. Muhammad Saeed al Sahhaf, the information Minister. Also known as Comical Ali for his funny character and nonsense statement in front journalist. Hopefully Al Arabiya can conduct an interview with him after this
It's Chemical Ali... And for obvious reasons.
Classic interview, she was respectful
Unlike Liza Tuss foreign Minister of England and Nicola sturgeon the nutcase
A very impressive personality and very intelligent. May Allah be with her always.
A great interview...at first I thought the journalist was being too evasive by not asking her the most important questions.......why did Raghad chose the side of her father instead of her husband and did she lure him back from Jordan knowing he would be executed.He also subtly reminded her that as perpetual dictator,Sadaam had the ultimate decision on Kamals life or death as he was his son in law,father to his grandchildren,a senior general and his second in command before his defection....its sad she wanted to avoid a bloodbath but in the end it was very bloody for the whole Saddam family......my question is,...was it all worth it?
Yes, the whole tribe killed millions of innocent Iraqis. They ruled the country by fear and terror.
@@neytiriavatar140 "millions" bro ur making stuff up at this point
Remaining parts with English translation?
Seems like a good woman caught up in the crossfire of being the daughter of a King. It’s just quite unfortunate that she had to go through all that. I will say though that when you dance with the devil the outcome will always be a painful one.
@Tralalalala Opaaa I’m using the biblical definition of what a King is. A king is the leader of the Land and one who sets the Laws. Saddam was that. I wouldn’t expect you to understand cause I’m sure you don’t read the Bible.
@@oforimensah4711 wow what an explanation
I hope that she gets back to Iraq and get to play a role in steering Iraq out of the dead zone.
She Carrie's herself very well and is a very interesting person. Great interview
Next part pleaseeee
It's like she was with this face ,cause when they show her wedding photos she's exactly same face she's now
It's called plastic and lots of botox
Clear signs of plastic surgery if you look at past pics. Cheeks and lips especially
This woman is living in an alternative universe
Explain
@@tree3y763 Saddam was the dumbest arab leader in the modern history. His foreign policies were dubious, he made enemies with pretty much all his neighbors, even the neutral country of lebanon by arming the separatists christian militias and other anti government and anti syria militias during the lebanese civil war. And as a result of the constant war state that Saddam put his country into, iraq quickly plunged into poverty and fell behind on development. Coupled with the sanctions, iraqis were LITERALLY starving. As for his internal policies, he ruled iraq with an iron grip, abusing his powers to suppress all the other factions such as the kurds, the shia, the communists, the arab baathists, the tribes… he turned iraq into a police state, hence the high levels of corruption and the incompetency of the iraqi institutions and the iraqi army.
Now i dunno about you, but saddam sounds like an awful leader. Yet this here woman believes that her father was a good leader. And there’s only one explanation for that, she’s living in an alternative universe, the one she was describing in this interview.
I'm shocked at the number of comments calling her "strong" and "brave." She is the daughter of a dictator who ruthlessly killed and tortured. The mothers and fathers who lost their children were strong, the families who fled were strong, the peshmerga were strong...She still wishes her dad was in power murdering and torturing people... She is nothing to me. Shame on her.
They delete all negative comments about her or her father.
Inshallah she will be the next president of Iraq
fuck no
@@Hassan-gc8fi 🤣 words of wisdom
Of a government in exile most likely. She is now playing into the hands of those who had her father toppled and destroyed. She didn't mention Saudi Arabia once.
Iraq is in hand of worthless rulers and a worthless corrupt government, if she ever ruled Iraq, it would be back to a respected country
@@laithjackson Iraq mayyybe was respected, before Saddam’s tyranny was wide known. We are talking about 1990s. Since than many has changed. West set the bar of equality, decency and human rights high. Respected countries of 21st century will be the progressive, inovative, open minded. She, and antics of her father, doesn’t have to do anything in the future of Iraq.
Ilang taon na kayo sa Belgium?
Well, these things happen when people gains too much power
Brave and loyal i like her respect❤
This interviewer is such a romantic. If this wasn't in a professional setting, he'd probably lay on his tummy with his hands on his chin and kicking his legs in the air behind him, whilst gazing dreamily at her as she tells her love story
Concurred... lol....he does seem like a Fan of her's and her dad.
Brave pure soul, courageous lady
I wish this interview was in English to understand Saddam from daughter's view.
