What happened in syria for the President to leave the country?The end of President Bashar al-Assad's 24 years of rule and his family's 50 years of rule in syria came as a very surprising and unexpected development in early 2024. In fact, on Sunday, december 8, news came that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has left Damascus (the capital of Syria) and fled to an unknown place. This information was given by Reuters quoting two senior military officials.The news of his fleeing the country came at a time when rebel groups claimed that they had started entering the capital and the Syrian army was nowhere to data-face their challenge. In fact, after the rebels surrounded Damascus, President Assad left from there in an IL-76T plane, but it is not yet clear whether he has left syria and gone to russia or Iran.After President Assad fled the country, rebels have staged a coup in Syria. The rebel group has captured the capital Damascus. This move of President Bashar al-Assad can be a big setback for iran and Hezbollah. In such a situation, let us understand in detail in this report why President Bashar al-Assad had to leave the country.Syria's civil warActually, 59-year-old Bashar al-Assad took power in syria in the year 2000 after the death of his father Hafiz al-Assad. Before Bashar, his father wasruling the country since 1971. Civil war started in this country 11 years after he came to power, that is, in the year 2011, when protests started against President Bashar al-Assad.This protest started with the demand for democratic reforms, but instead of listening to the demands of the people, the Assad government took military action to crush their voice, due to which this protest turned into violence and many different armed rebel groups were formed against the government. By mid-2012, this rebellion had turned into a full-fledged civil war.The war involved many sides, including rebel groups, jihadist organizations, and pro-Assad forces. Outside powers such as russia, iran, and Hezbollah supported Assad, while Western countries and regional powers supported the rebels. Much of syria was devastated by all these conflicts, and millions of people were killed or became refugees.
