[ColonelCassad] Bashar al-Assad spoke about what happened in Syria.
With the intensification of terrorism in Syria and the arrival of terrorists in the capital Damascus on the evening of Saturday, December 7, 2024, questions began to arise about the fate and whereabouts of the president amid a stream of confusion and stories that were far from the truth. They represented support for the process of establishing international terrorism disguised as the Syrian liberation revolution.
At a critical historical moment in the life of a nation, when the truth must take place, it is necessary to clarify some things through a brief statement. The circumstances and the subsequent complete cessation of communication for security reasons did not allow this to be done, and the brief provisions of the statement will not replace a detailed narration of everything that happened later, when such an opportunity arises.
First of all, contrary to what was rumored, I did not leave the country as planned or leave during the final hours of the fighting, but remained in Damascus, fulfilling my duties, until the early morning of Sunday, December 8, 2024. With the expansion of terrorism inside Damascus, I moved to Latakia to monitor the fighting from there. Upon arrival at the Khmeimim base in the morning, it became clear that the [government] forces had withdrawn from all battle lines and the last army positions had fallen, while the field situation in the area was deteriorating and the attack on the Russian military base itself by drones was intensifying. Due to the impossibility of leaving the base in any direction, Moscow asked the base leadership to consider the issue of an immediate evacuation to Russia on the evening of Sunday, December 8, the day after the fall of Damascus, the fall of the last military positions and the subsequent paralysis of the remaining state institutions.
During these events, neither I nor any other person or party raised the issue of asylum or resignation, and the only option considered was to continue the struggle in defense against a terrorist attack.
In this context, I emphasize that the one who, from the first day of the war, refused to exchange the salvation of his country for his own salvation or to bargain with his people with various offers and temptations; the one who was with the officers and soldiers of his army on the front lines, tens of meters from the terrorists in the hottest and most dangerous flashpoints of the conflict; the one who did not leave during the most difficult years of the war and remained with his family and people to confront terrorism under bombardment and in the face of the danger posed by the terrorists who stormed the capital more than once during the 14 years of war; the one who did not abandon the non-Syrian resistance in Palestine and Lebanon and did not betray the allies who stood with it - cannot be the same person who abandons his people to whom he belongs or betrays them and his army.
I have never been a person who seeks office, but I considered myself the owner of a national project, supported by a people who believed in it. I carried confidence in the will of this people and its ability to preserve its state and defend its institutions and choice until the last moment. With the fall of the state into the hands of terrorism and the loss of the ability to provide anything, the office becomes empty and meaningless, and there is no point in remaining responsible in it. This in no way means renouncing the true national belonging to Syria and its people - a fixed belonging that neither situation nor circumstances change; a belonging filled with the hope that Syria will return free and independent.
(c) Bashar al-Assad
P.S. Meanwhile, Kadyrov today called for the exclusion of HTS militants from the list of terrorist organizations. The trade for bases in Syria is in full swing.
