Georges Sada
Georges Hormis Sada graduated from Iraq’s Air Academy in
1959 and was trained by elite forces in Great Britain,
Russia and the U.S. An ace fighter pilot who trained other
pilots, he went on to become air vice marshal in Saddam
Hussein’s military. His acts of bravery, including saving
the lives of forty downed coalition pilots in the Gulf War,
have earned him hero status. Georges Sada was born into an Assyrian Christian family in
northern Iraq and became a born-again believer in 1986.
Georges had great favor with the former Iraqi dictator, as
he is one of the few Iraqi men to ever publicly confront
Saddam Hussein and live to tell about it. Georges believes a
key reason why he served as one of Saddam’s most trusted
advisors was to persuade him against attacking the nation of Israel with chemical weapons,
something Saddam attempted to do on two separate occasions. Now retired, Georges is director of the Iraqi Institute for
Peace and also serves as spokesman for the newly elected
prime minister of Iraq. He is also the president of the
National Presbyterian Church in Baghdad and chairman of the
Assembly of Iraqi Evangelical Presbyterian Churches. In recent years, Georges held the position of principal
advisor to the former Iraqi Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi.
Additionally, he acted as the lead consultant for the
reconstruction of all three branches of the Iraqi defense
system. In June of 2003, Georges received the prestigious
International Prize for Peace and Reconciliation presented
by the Bishop of Coventry, England. Georges Sada is the author of the book, Saddam’s Secrets, an
expose on Iraq’s weapons programs and the murderous reign of
Saddam Hussein.
