Barack Hussein Obama II (1961-2002)
Born to a black father and a white mother, Obama was born in Hawaii but moved to Kenya as a child after his mother's death in a car crash (Obama Sr. wasn't a deadbeat). In 1982, a military coup backed by the CIA overthrew the left-leaning president at the time. However, by the Clinton administration, the regime showed signs of weakness. The young Barack was among the leaders of the revolution which toppled the junta and formed a provisional government, which held democratic elections a month later. Barack Obama was inaugurated as the new president in 1999, but sadly assassinated in 2002 by a former military officer who supported the old military government. Obama's main achievements in office included work with U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and Al Gore to fight AIDS, and improving Kenyan infrastructure, and despite his short leadership is widely considered among the best leaders in modern African history.
