The ousted Syrian chief has mentioned he deliberate to maintain preventing and didn’t search refuge till the capital had fallen
Exiled former Syrian chief Bashar Assad said that he remained in Damascus till the early morning of December 8, opposite to reviews suggesting he secretly escaped the nation the day earlier than.
In his first official assertion since being deposed and fleeing the nation earlier this month, Assad claimed on Monday that he left Syria solely within the night of December 8, including that he initially deliberate to maintain preventing insurgent forces.
In keeping with Assad, his departure from Syria “was neither deliberate nor did it happen in the course of the closing hours of the battles, as some have claimed.” Quite the opposite, he “didn’t contemplate stepping down or searching for refuge” till all hope was misplaced.
Assad, who dominated Syria for practically 25 years, was overthrown earlier this month when a coalition of armed opposition teams, dominated by Islamists from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), captured Damascus in a lightning offensive.
Assad claimed that he left Damascus solely after the primary teams of militants “infiltrated” the capital, and moved to Latakia “in coordination with our Russian allies to supervise fight operations.”
Nevertheless, upon arriving on the Russian Hmeimim airbase, he reportedly found that “our forces had fully withdrawn from all battle strains and that the final military positions had fallen.”
He was evacuated to Russia from the Hmeimim base on the night of December 8. “This came about a day after the autumn of Damascus, following the collapse of the ultimate navy positions and the ensuing paralysis of all remaining state establishments,” Assad emphasised in his assertion.
Earlier this month, the Syrian ambassador to Moscow, Bashar al-Jaafari, condemned Assad’s departure from the nation as a “shameful and humiliating” abandonment of his nation. The fast fall of the Assad authorities is proof of its unpopularity among the many individuals and the military, the diplomat added.
The previous Syrian president agreed to step down following back-channel talks with unspecified armed teams and subsequently left the nation, instructing officers to conduct “a peaceable switch of energy,” in line with the Russian International Ministry. Assad and his household have been granted asylum in Russia.
