Watan-Social media users circulated a video clip showing an alleged interview with former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, claiming that he is still alive and well in the year 2024, raising questions about the validity of these claims.<\/p>\n
Footage of an interview in Arabic language spread, with its publishers claiming that the former Iraqi president, who was executed by hanging, is still alive, citing his alleged statement: “Everyone thinks I was martyred but it’s all a lie and I was not executed.”<\/p>\n
However, the video has been altered using deepfake techniques, and the original interview was conducted in 2003.<\/p>\n
Users quickly responded to the video, confirming it as fake and unreal, asserting that his return is unbelievable, while others pointed out that Saddam Hussein’s appearance has not changed despite all these years.<\/p>\n
Some followers interacted with the “Saddam Hussein alive in 2024” video seriously, in line with a widespread belief among some that Saddam Hussein was not executed in 2003 but is still alive and hiding.<\/p>\n
