Sajida Khairallah Talfah[2] (Arabic: ساجدة خير الله طلفاح, romanized: Sājidah Khayr Allāh Ṭilfāḥ; born 1935)[1] is the widow of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein,[3] and mother of two sons (Uday and Qusay) and three daughters (Raghad, Rana, and Hala) with him.

Uday took it as an insult to his mother and also believed that his inheritance was endangered by Saddam taking a new wife.

Uday believed that it was Kamel who had introduced Saddam and Samira, and that he had arranged their meetings.

[citation needed] Sajida hardly ever appeared in public with her husband, so for many years her existence was little known to the Iraqi people.

These pictures and videos were intended to make it seem as if Saddam's family life was not strained.
