Sami al-Hinnawi

Sami al-Hinnawi

Colonel Sami Hilmy al-Hinnawi (1898 - 1950) (Arabic: محمد سامي حلمي الحناوي) was a Syrian politician and military man.

Col. al-Hinnawi overthrew the military rule of Syrian President Husni al-Za'im in April 1949, with the aid of fellow members in the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, including Adib al-Shishakli. After the coup, he swiftly ordered al-Za'im and Prime Minister Muhsen al-Barazi to be brought to Mezze prison in Damascus, where both were executed.

Al-Hinnawi was then installed as leader of a military junta, but al-Shishakli remained the military strongman. In 1949, Shishakli carried out another coup d'êtat (the third that year), strengthening his power and re-introducing civilian rule. On October 31, 1950, he was murdered in exile in Beirut, Lebanon, by Hersho al-Barazi, a cousin of Muhsen al-Barazi.
