Assad To Retain Power - The Storm is Over

His Excellency - Bachar Al-Assad

As Iraq plunges deeper into chaos and desperation under the hand of ISIS, the situation in Syria has changed dramatically. The media has been focusing all attention to Gaza, while ignoring thousands of Arabs being killed in the Chams and Iraqi area. It's quite a shame that not one was paying attention and turned a blind eye to ISIS which is actually committing genocide --they are not even ashamed of it.


In Syria, the media has failed to report how the independent groups have failed. One of the last parts of Damascus has been taken back by Assad, as well as several other villages in the north.

But what is further, the independent fighters have lost faith from the people. They are not able to work together, and no one group is inclusive or offering a better life. The leading groups are disagreeing violently with each other and are partially responsible for the growth in violence throughout Syria.

Without the ability to work together --proving once again how incredibly diverse Syria is, the exact reason for how the Assads came to power and began to abuse it -- now responsible for the disintegration and loss of confidence in the rebel groups.

There is a saying in Arabic, 'Only the foolish don't change their opinions'

And unfortunately, the opinion that Assad will be forced out of power is the opinion that has changed. The independent groups are not strong enough, at least while they are divided, to combat the forces of Assad. Currently, the chances of these groups amending relations is not looking like it's possible.

Syria has fallen to a world of rubble. Western experts proposed creating a Syrian state and an Allouite state --an impossible and ridiculous notion.

Syria will either rule independently as a collective democracy --which is disastrous for the Syrians, take a look at Iraq -- or Syria will remain under the strong iron fist of the Assad family. But it is clear now that, while the struggle may last long, the spirit and true threat to Assad has ended.
