And Bashar al-Assad’s regime is no exception.

The Syrian army has withdrawn from Homs city in central Syria ahead of a rebel offensive on Saturday night, cutting off Damascus from Bashar al-Assad’s coastal strongholds as a lightning offensive brought rebel factions to the besieged president’s doorstep.

Videos showed Syrian forces withdrawing from security branches in Homs as insurgents led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) entered city limits. The rebel commander Hassan Abdul-Ghani said that its forces were conducting “combing operations” in the city neighbourhoods to find any Syrian soldiers that remained.

Syrian rebels say Bashar al-Assad has fled Damascus and claim to have captured capital!

This was an operation led by the US and carried out by Erdogan of Turkey.

Erdogan is more hypocritical than the West, as toppling Bashar al-Assad is not even in the interest of the West, leave alone Turkey's. This is all for the sake of Israel.

Any western policy in the Middle East, including the Persian Gulf, is designed by default to help Israel, even if this involves the West sacrificing hundreds of thousands of its soldiers and spending trillions of US dollars.

Erdogan parrots that Turkey has imposed a trade embargo on Israel over Israel's genocide in Gaza, yet Turkey continues to ship crude oil to Israel.

Shipping data and satellite imagery compiled by researchers from the Stop Fuelling Genocide campaign, supported by Progressive International, indicates that a tanker shipped crude oil directly from Turkey’s Ceyhan port to a pipeline near Ashkelon in Israel.

I hope such a joy would last and they won't be soon starting to feel nostalgic for Bashar al-Assad's era, as this has been the case for both Iraqis and Libyans, believing nowadays that they would have been better off with Saddam and Ghaddafi respectively.

Those who came after Saddam haven't improved the infrastructure, they haven't built anything, they haven't done anything for the people. Saddam's was a brutal regime. But now, I really regret hitting his statue. An Iraqi nostalgic for Saddam's era.
