SYRIA IN ‘THE HANDS OF TERRORISM’ – ASSAD
In his first remarks since his overthrow, Bashar al-Assad said on Monday that terrorism controls Syria.
Assad claimed that Moscow asked him to leave a military base that was under attack and that his exit from Syria was unplanned.
“My departure from Syria was neither planned nor did it occur during the final hours of the battles,” said a statement on the ousted presidency’s Telegram channel, adding “Moscow requested… an immediate evacuation to Russia on the evening of Sunday December 8” after he moved to Latakia early that day.
“When the state falls into the hands of terrorism and the ability to make a meaningful contribution is lost, any position becomes void of purpose,” the statement added.
