explanation: Born 1958 at Mosul in a leader's family of the powerful Shamar tribe. He studied petroleum engineering in Saudi-Arabia, then UK and USA. After the fall of Saddam's regime in 2003, he returned back to Iraq to become a member of Iraqi interim governing council. The latter appointed Ghazi al-Yawer as a Iraq's interim president in June 2004. After a poor performance of his Sunni party in the first general election held in January 2005, he was replaced by Jalal Talabani and became himself a vice president.
