Syria's Bashar al-Assad Flees to Russia as Dynasty Crumbles Overnight | Firstpost America

Syria's Assad regime has crumbled after five decades of iron-fisted rule. Bashar al-Assad, the dictator once propped up by Russian firepower, has fled Damascus with his family, reportedly seeking asylum in Moscow.

His wife, Asma al-Assad, once hailed as a modern "Rose in the Desert," has vanished, her progressive image tarnished by allegations of economic exploitation and authoritarian complicity.
