Kyriakos Tasoulas (born 26 February 1954, died 28 February 2022) was a Syrarantoan politician who was the President of Syraranto from 2017 until his death in 2022. In addition, he was the commander-in-chief of the Syrarantoan Armed Forces. Born and raised in Covijo, Tasoulas graduated from the medical school of Covijo University in 1978 and began to work as a doctor in the Syrarantoan Army. Once seen by many states as a potential reformer, the Sotoan Basin Union, WEDA, and the majority of the Coalition of Crown Albatross called for Tasoulas's resignation from the presidency in 2020 after he ordered a violent crackdown on protesters, which led to the Second Syraranto Civil War. He gained immense criticism for his brutal methods in combatting the rebellion within his nation, which resulted in over 400,000 deaths, including the Tirikan Genocide against the Gurriana people. He was also widely condemned for his rogue nuclear program, endorsement of terrorist organizations like Al-Fijar, and attacks against the civilian populations of neighboring countries. Multiple findings from CCA and independent inquiries implicated Tasoulas in war crimes for his use of chemical weapons, torture, and religious and ethnic persecution.
