Dethroned and Exiled: Bashar Al-Assad’s New Chapter in Russia
Bashar al-Assad, the former Syrian president, has reportedly fled to Russia with his family after being ousted from power following a swift rebel offensive.
Russia granted him and his family asylum in a dramatic turn of events that ended Assad’s 24-year rule and his family’s 50-year political dynasty in Syria.
The collapse of Assad’s government came as rebels captured Damascus and other key territories, marking a significant shift in Syria’s political landscape. Russia’s support remains critical in this transition.
