Abdul Latif Rashid

Imagine having a very important job, like being the captain of a big ship! That's a bit like what Abdul Latif Rashid does. He is the President of Iraq, which means he is the leader of the whole country.

He was born a long, long time ago, on August 10, 1944. He is also known by a different name, Letif Reshid, in the Kurdish language. He is the fourth person who isn't Arab to become the President of Iraq, which is pretty special!

Before becoming President, Mr. Rashid had another super important job: he was the Minister of Water Resources. Think about all the water we use every day for drinking, washing, and even growing food.

Mr. Rashid helped make sure there was enough clean water for everyone in Iraq. He worked on making sure rivers flowed well, that there was water for farms, and even that electricity could be made from water power.

He also helped fix up areas with wetlands, which are like nature's sponges!

Mr. Rashid didn't just become President overnight! He worked in different government jobs for many years.

He was a spokesperson for a group called the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan in a faraway place called the United Kingdom. Then, he came back to Iraq and took on big responsibilities, like managing the country's water. His hard work and dedication led him to become the President, a role where he can help even more people.

Water is like a superpower for any country! President Rashid's job as Minister of Water Resources was all about protecting this precious resource. He made sure that people had water to drink, that farms could grow food, and that rivers were managed safely.

He even helped with flood control, which is like building giant walls to stop rivers from overflowing and causing damage. His work helps keep Iraq running smoothly and its people healthy.
