No Vowels, Numbers or Gaps #3

A very minor case of serious brain damage

Time for a third round of this, I think. The format (mostly familiar, with a couple of alterations) is as follows:
  • I post a list of 30 names (up from 20), each relating to a specific theme, with the vowels, numbers and gaps removed.
  • Each person may make up to 6 guesses per day.
  • The contest runs until Saturday 14th April at 10pm GMT, or when all of them have been guessed correctly, whichever is sooner.
  • Names 1-20 are worth 5 posts each, while 21-30 are worth 10 posts each.
This time, the theme is World leaders. Some are former leaders (going back pretty far, in some cases!), while others are still in power. Here they are:

1) GRDNBRWN (Answered correctly by Jarkko)
2) RNLDRGN (Answered correctly by Jarkko)

It's too bad I can only do six at a time, because I've already figured out 4, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, and 19. :P

EDIT: 10 and 13 as well.

All correct. I should just hand this to you right now XD

I've also changed #23, as the original one was based on a misreading, and wasn't even the name a leader, but of a title he held.

Well, I'd best close this. The remaining ones were:

21) Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV (King of Tonga, 1965-2006)
22) Abdirahman Ahmed Ali Tuur (President of Somaliland, 1991-93. I know Somaliland is unrecognized, but I didn't let that bother me!)
23) Anitta (Hittite king, 17th Century BC....this is what I meant by going back pretty far :P )
24) Wahibre Ibiau (Egyptian Pharaoh, 13th Dynasty)
25) Amar-Sin (Ruler of 3rd Ur Dynasty, c. 1981–1973 BC)
26) Tauekel Khan (Khan of the Kazakh Khanate, 1582-1598)
28) Evaristo Carvalho (Prime Minister of São Tomé and Príncipe, 1994 and 2001-02)
29) Litokwa Tomeing (President of the Marshall Islands, 2008-09)

Jarkko wins 100 posts for getting all of 1-20, plus another 20 for getting 27 and 30, making 120 posts in total. Congrats!
