Syria: Is Bashar Al-Assad soon in exile?

“It’s official raise your glasses

Cause this party gonna go to Damascus” – Wyclef Jean – ‘Party to Damascus’ (2003)

The rebels are ringing things in. The foreign mercenaries and troops are fleeing. The Iranian and Russians are leaving the Syrian Arab Republic. The national army is in shambles and the various forces of rebels are able to strategically manoeuvre. The end of tyranny and dictatorship is soon over.

Bashar Al-Assad’s reign in Syria is in its final stretch. The news of asking Washington D.C. for help and a new alliance. That is telling, because Hezbollah and Iran has been his guiding star together with the massive help from Kremlin. Now all of these allies are ditching him and seemingly they hope for better fortunes. As the civil war and possible revolution turns things around. Alas, we don’t know what is on the other side, but it certainly isn’t the Ba’ath Party and Al-Assad.

Some says Al-Assad is already in exile. That he is residing in Teheran and is a guest in Iran. Maybe he went together with troops and weaponry of the Iranian forces earlier in the day. Meanwhile others are saying his hiding in Damascus. Whatever it is… it doesn’t look good and his end is near.

The HTS, SDF, SNA and SFA all have to find ways to work together. As they are operating in various parts of the Republic. They are all able with combine forces to defeat the Al-Assad loyalist troops. These are able to takeover massive territories and send the Al-Assad army retreating. However, after the fact comes the big question.

Who will guide the nation and how will it be organized. As this is various groups with different interests or possible ideologies. Therefore, these has to talk and negotiate. Especially in the interim and the transitional phase after Al-Assad is toppled. Because right now… it is just a matter of time. The minorities and the ones who are easily forgotten needs to be remembered too. As they need their say as well. So with an easy assessment to say this is a quagmire and not an easy road ahead.

People should celebrate and be giddy of the end of Al-Assad. His brutal reign and misuse of power will be remembered. It is a reason why people fled the nation, remember all the lost and all the suffering as a cause of one man ruling indefinitely. Now the question is who comes after and what sort of ruler is that.

Al-Assad is soon history. Everything is going in that direction. Everyone can see that appearing now and there is no return for him. He has lost everything and the titles he has is worthless. Sooner or later he has to accept that, but that’s the truth. Another tyrant and dictator who lost it all. Some will cry tears, but plenty more will celebrate. Because he has a legacy left behind of torture, pain and suffering. The demise of so many people, just so he could be the President and Head of State.

We don’t know what tomorrow will look like, but things are looking grim for Al-Assad. His people should leave and find refuge. As we are seeing and hearing reports of allies fleeing. It is just a sign that this is over and it just a matter of time. The clock is ticking and it is getting closer to the grand finale.

The final showdown and the last salute. That is here very soon and the road to Damascus is clear. Peace.

Syria: Is this the final days of Bashar Al-Assad?

The time of family rule and Ba’ath Party is maybe soon over. As the foreign interventions are appearing and working. The Syrian Arab Republic might turn totally different in no time. As the armed rebellion are able to negotiate and occupy new territories. That after taking over the cities of Aleppo and Hama. Now we can just await the tides turning and new cities are captured by the same forces.

This being the Taurus, Homs and Damascus. Sooner or later, the Russian boosted regime is falling apart. The Armed Forces of Syria is failing to defend and barricade the territories they have. The moral must be at all time low, and they must have lost hope, as the Turkish supported rebels are advancing at amp speed.

We can just wonder how rapidly things will change and how the agreements with the SDF or Kurdish will be. That is if the HTC and allies will accept everyone or be vile against others. The ones fearing for changing one devil with another one. That is understandable, but the Al-Assad and Ba’ath Party has ruled for over 5 decades and only created instability. They haven’t developed or helped to build the nation. If so… the rebels wouldn’t be celebrated, and the people wouldn’t cheer them on after they takeover cities like Aleppo or Hama.

Now they are continuing towards Homs. This is just a matter of time and we can wonder when the rebels are entering and liberating this as well. It is now happening so fast and with such haste, as the momentum is on the side of the rebels itself. Therefore, the Al-Assad regime is falling, but we don’t know how fast.

Bashar Al-Assad has been in power since 2000. He has held power for over 23 years and closing in on his 24^th Year in Office. While his father Hafez al-Assad was in power or in office between 1971 to 2000. Therefore, these two has ruled the Republic longer than most people has been alive in the Syrian Arab Republic. The median age in Syria is 22 years old. So, that is saying something right.

This dictatorship and totalitarian state is bound to fall. Unless some miracles of epic proportions are happening. Which is stopping the rebels, and their logistical support is ceasing. That’s the only way at the moment, but that isn’t in the cards. As the army of the government is retreating. The bombardment and air superiority isn’t helping what is happening on land. Therefore, we can just wonder and speculate about the possible downfall of the President.

The ones cheering on is at ease. The ones who are happy and rightfully so. They who has been victims and been suffering as a consequence of Al-Assad rule. These are now celebrating the liberation of their areas, towns and cities. Meanwhile, it is natural to wonder what set of rules, regulations or even how the rebels plans to run the nation. As they are the next coming power and they took it by force. These wasn’t elected or on popular demand. Though we know under Al-Assad the elections would be rigged and safeguarded for his interests. Therefore, to participate in those would be futile.

We can just wonder if the President plans to refuge into exile anytime soon or if Moscow will be open for his stay? As that’s his last destination before returning back to the warzone at home. Time will tell… the changes are happening fast, but what seems certain is that the day of Al-Assad in power is over. It is just a matter of days… if the rebels continue at the same rate. Peace.
