After the conquest of Damascus by rebels from the Islamist group HTS on Sunday December 8, Syrian political leader Bashar al-Assad is nowhere to be found. Announced “on the run”, the deposed dictator could have taken refuge in Russia, Iran or even the United Arab Emirates.
The dictator's flight is at the heart of all questions after the capture of Damascus and other major cities in the country by rebel groups. The latter, who put the autocrat to flight, seem to have signed the end of Bashar al-Assad's reign during the night from Saturday to Sunday.
The “tyrant” “fled” in the words of the Syrian rebel groups. A statement supported by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: “Assad left Syria via Damascus International Airport“. Then confirmed by Turkish and Russian politicians. But then, to which destination did the plane with Bashar al-Assad on board leave?
A possible plane crash?
Few reliable elements are currently available but aviation specialists have identified on the FlightRadar site a Syrian Air plane which took off from Damascus airport, detailed Reuters. If we follow the flight information available on the specialized site, the aircraft first headed towards the Mediterranean coast of Syria, before making a sudden U-turn, then suddenly disappearing from radar. What to think of a high probability of the plane crash?
If not, speculation is rife about where Assad might now find refuge. Three destinations hold the rope: Russia, Iran or the United Arab Emirates, according to the OSDH. For information, he went to Moscow a few days before the start of the rebel groups' offensive and met an Iranian official in Damascus this Saturday.
