During the Cold War, Africa and the Middle East saw numerous leaders who played significant roles in the geopolitical landscape. Notable figures included Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was a leading voice of Arab nationalism and non-alignment, and South Africa's apartheid-era leaders like Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd. In the Middle East, leaders such as Iran's Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and Iraq's Ba'athist leaders, including Saddam Hussein, were also influential in navigating Cold War dynamics. These leaders often aligned with either the United States or the Soviet Union, impacting regional politics and conflicts.
