Syria's dictator Assad

lundi 27 septembre 2021 à 02:00

The US is facilitating the reintegration of Syria's dictator Assad, which includes handing Syria power once again over collapsing Lebanon.

Syria was torn apart between the Assad and the Sunni Islamists that took over the anti-Assad rebels. For a while, the US sent military aid to the rebels but it all fell into the hands of the Islamists.

As Assad's men tortured rebel prisoners, the Islamists persecuted everyone who wasn't Sunni, which drove all those other groups into Assad's camp.

Then PISSI exploded, and Assad got support from Russia and Iran.

If Assad gains more legitimacy, I fear for the survival of Rojava, which is the only state in the region that deserves much support.
