Al-Assad flees to Russia: Asylum grants on humanitarian reasons!

In a dramatic turning point in Syrian history, the fallen President Bashar al-Assad with his family received asylum in Russia! Russian news agencies report that the family has fled into the protective arms of Moscow on humanitarian reasons. The message comes after an unprecedented advance of the armed opposition, which took control of Damascus in the early morning hours of Sunday.

The situation escalated rapidly when the rebels announced that the capital was now "free". In the meantime, Al-Assad's whereabouts were riddle. According to reports, he could have been evacuated by an air force base in Latakia with a Russian military aircraft, whereby the aircraft transponders had been switched off. This information was confirmed by Al Jazeeras Yulia Shapovalova from Moscow.

a historical moment for Syria

President Joe Biden commented on Al-Assad's whereabouts and explained that there were indications that he is in Moscow. "The case of the regime is a fundamental act of justice. It is a historical moment for the suffering Syrian people to build a better future for their proud country," says Biden.

The Russian authorities have now confirmed that Al-Assad has left Syria. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the former president had resigned. In Damascus himself, people cheered on the streets, while others looted the cornstop of the fallen guide. The mood in the city was euphoric when the rebels announced the victory.

Russia's role in the Syrian conflict

Although Russia supported al-Assad throughout the conflict, the new developments seem to signal a turn in the Moscow strategy. Russian news agencies report that the leaders of the Syrian opposition have guaranteed the security of Russian military bases and diplomatic missions within Syria. Despite the fact that Russia has actively intervened in the war, this happens to support Al-Assad and to carry out numerous air strikes in opposition areas.

After 13 years of bloody clashes that cost hundreds of thousands the lives and made millions of refugees, this could mean the end of an era for the al-assadic dynasty. The Syrian Civil War, which began as an unarmed uprising in 2011, has developed into a devastating conflict that involved international powers and fell the country into the abyss.
