Horrors unleashed by Assad the self proclaimed God on Syrians. (a thread 🧵) The SAA soldiers used to call him God. Bashar al-Assad, often called one of the worst tyrants of our time, has finally fallen. His reign over Syria was defined by brutality, destruction, and mass atrocities, especially... targeting Syrian Muslims. Now that his rule has ended, let’s look at the horrors he unleashed during his time in power.(1/N) #بشار_الأسد #Assad #Syriashow more

The Syrian Civil War The Syrian conflict began during the Arab Spring when Assad’s forces responded to peaceful demonstrations with deadly violence. This crackdown led to a full-blown civil war, marked by mass arrests and brutal torture, including the tragic case of 13-year-old Hamza al-Khateeb. (2/N #بشار_الأسد #Assad #دمشق #Syria

Use of Chemical Weapons The Assad regime repeatedly deployed chemical weapons, including sarin gas in Ghouta in 2013 and chlorine in Douma. These attacks claimed the lives of thousands of civilians, many of them children, leaving a horrific legacy of chemical warfare. (3/N) #Syria #سوريا

Targeting Civilians and Hospitals Hospitals, schools, and residential areas became frequent targets of Assad’s forces. Indiscriminate bombings, including the use of barrel bombs, resulted in thousands of civilian deaths, underscoring the regime’s disregard for human life.(4/N) #Syria

Systematic Torture and Detention Detention centers such as Saydnaya became symbols of Assad’s brutal regime, where tens of thousands were tortured or executed. The Caesar Files exposed shocking images of detainees who were starved, mutilated, or killed in captivity.(5/N)

Forced Starvation and Siege Warfare. Assad’s forces used siege tactics to control opposition-held areas, cutting off vital food and humanitarian aid. Civilians in places like Madaya and Eastern Ghouta endured starvation as a deliberate weapon of war.(6/N)

Enabling Extremism In a calculated move to destabilize the opposition, Assad released jihadists from prisons in 2011, enabling the growth of extremist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda including the child terrorists. This strategy plunged Syria into deeper chaos.(7/N)

Continued Occupation of Lebanon. Assad extended Syria’s occupation of Lebanon, a policy inherited from his father. His regime is also widely accused of orchestrating the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005, further destabilizing the region.(8/N)

Suppression of Kurdish Autonomy. Kurdish groups in northern Syria, despite their critical role in combating ISIS, faced hostility from Assad’s regime. Their aspirations for autonomy were consistently crushed, reflecting the regime’s oppressive policies.(9/N)

Corruption and Cronyism Assad’s government was plagued by corruption, with key figures like his cousin Rami Makhlouf monopolizing the economy. Meanwhile, rural areas and marginalized communities suffered from neglect and lack of development.(10/N)

Mass Displacement The Assad regime’s brutal policies displaced more than 13 million Syrians, turning vibrant cities like Aleppo into ruins. Millions were forced to seek refuge in camps or abroad, facing immense hardships.(11/N)

War Profiteering Reconstruction efforts in Syria became an opportunity for Assad’s loyalists to profit. Contracts were awarded exclusively to regime allies, leaving ordinary citizens in devastated areas without any support for rebuilding their lives.(12/N)

Legacy of Atrocities Bashar al-Assad’s reign has been characterized by relentless oppression, war crimes, and mass suffering. His legacy is one of destruction and devastation, with Syria left in ruins under his rule.(13/N)

Translantion :may god take revenge on you Bashar. (15/N)

I don’t believe in the concept of a “lesser evil,” but after witnessing the horrors Assad inflicted on Syria and its people, I’m convinced that whatever comes next will be better than his reign. The streets of Syria echo with “Allahu Akbar,” and as a Muslim, I feel a sense of relief knowing Syrians are free from his tyranny. May Allah guide and protect Syria.
