Many perceive Bashar Al Assad, the President of Syria, as a dictator. Western media portrays him as a ruthless leader who does not hesitate to kill his own people. This narrative is promoted by the United States and its allies to justify their actions in attempting to overthrow Assad.
But is Assad truly a dictator? Not all journalists or reporters buy into the image projected by Western nations. Independent journalists, driven by their ideals, become curious and seek to uncover the truth. These independent journalists have delved into Assad’s background.
Some reporters have interviewed Syrians living abroad, including those who have settled in the United States and other Western countries. Meanwhile, others have gone directly to Syria to observe the sentiments of the Syrian people towards Bashar Al Assad.
The Syrian people, particularly those who are not involved in politics or the opposition, have a better understanding of their leader. They provide objective assessments, free from coercion or bribery. The findings of these independent journalists reveal that the Syrian people hold great affection for Assad.
The Syrians describe their president not as a dictator, but as a humble and caring leader. He frequently tours the country to assess the situation firsthand, greeting people warmly and inquiring about their needs. Assad strives to address the needs of his citizens.
These findings stand in stark contrast to the portrayal by Western media. Unfortunately, the label of a brutal dictator has become attached to Assad. He is often blamed for any violence or casualties in conflict zones.
However, for those who know Assad, including his people, they support and defend him. Yet, Western media hides these facts. The United States and its allies do not want Assad to garner international sympathy.
Based on the data and evidence collected, independent journalists have concluded that Assad is not a dictator. The reasons are as follows:
- Assad was elected as the President of Syria in the 2021 election, winning 95% of the vote.
- If a presidential election were held in the near future, it is likely that Assad would be re-elected.
- Assad has not used chemical weapons or killed civilians.
- He cannot be defeated in a proxy war because the people support him.
- He has successfully negotiated with rebels, allowing them the opportunity to relocate and evacuate.
- If Western countries were truly concerned about humanitarian issues, they would also address the plight of Palestinians being oppressed by Israel.
- There is no evidence of the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
- The presence of the United States and its allies in Syria is illegal.
- Syria invited Russia to assist in the proxy war against the United States and its allies.
- The United States has been proven to use chemical weapons in conflicts in several countries, such as during the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
