Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on October 06, 1930)

Celebrating your birthday, Hafez Al-Assad! Who could forget the iconic moment you seized power in 1970—talk about making an entrance. Your decades-long leadership certainly left a lasting impression; after all, not everyone can say they held onto their job for nearly three decades!

Your political moves were legendary and unforgettable. From Prime Minister to President, you've had quite the journey—and let's face it, nobody did stability (or mustaches) like you did. Here's hoping that wherever history has placed you now, you're still enjoying some cake with as much determination as when running Syria.

Happy Birthday!
