It became obvious that the rebels in Syria made significant advances, although their leaders keep saying that they lack the weaponry needed to launch a massive attack on the regime’s main points of power. On the other side, Russian officials admitted that we may see the rebels realizing victory in Syria, and an evacuation plan was set for the Russian citizens in the country.
The Nato chief expects that Bashar Al Assad’s regime will collapse soon, knowing that Syria is in war since 21 months. The Syrian rebels are attempting to conquer Damascus from all sides, and reports say that weapons are being transferred to the rebels from different sides, especially from Turkey.
On the military side, the rebels should conquer Damascus to win. If the regime lost its control on the capital, we should hear about Bashar Al Assad and his regime flying to different countries. This shouldn’t be easy at all, especially with fears spreading from Syria’s chemical weapons that can turn the situation upside down.
Moreover, none of the Arab League leaders or the United Nations, managed to convince President Al Assad to step down, especially with most of Arab leaders being busy with Arab spring revolutions, while the UN choose Al Ibrahimy to be its representative to Syria, and he is clearly unable to reach any results on the ground. China and Russia also refuse to pressure Bashar Al Assad to step down, but Russia seems to be expecting a dramatic end for the current Syrian regime.
We should also mention the role or Taliban in Syria, as reports say that thousands of Taliban members are now in Syria and fighting with the rebels. Equipment and weapons were also transferred inside Syria to face the regime and to make Taliban members more effective in Syria. Hence, we can say that Bashar Al Assad is facing more than one enemy at the current stage, which is making his situation very weak.
Two hundred Syrian citizens were killed today in different governorates. We should admit that a number of citizens were killed by the regime, while the rest were killed by the rebels who should be seeking the freedom of the people. In all cases, civilians are always the biggest loser in any war. Reports say that two thousand Syrian refugees entered the Turkish boarders today, after they struggled for days to find safety for their kids and for themselves.
It is not expected to see the end of Al Assad’s regime coming soon, and no one can expect that the rebels are going to surrender. The war in Syria will continue in the coming months, and we shall see the regime using its chemical weapons against the rebels, but this can be the last military move for Bashar Al Assad. What spreads pessimism is that all solutions are frozen; the war solution and the political solution; however, progress can be seen in case America, Russia and China started to add more pressure on the Syrian regime.
