The statement from Assad's ally is the first on his whereabouts since rebels took control of Damascus.

The article from MSN discusses the current status and whereabouts of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad amidst ongoing conflicts and international scrutiny. Assad, who has been in power since 2000 following the death of his father, Hafez al-Assad, has been a central figure in the Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011. Despite international condemnation for alleged war crimes and the use of chemical weapons, Assad remains in control of significant parts of Syria, particularly Damascus, the capital. The piece highlights his limited international travel due to sanctions and arrest warrants, his reliance on allies like Russia and Iran, and his occasional appearances at international forums like the Arab League summit. Assad's movements are often secretive, but he is known to stay within secure areas of Damascus or visit military sites, maintaining a tight grip on power while facing both internal and external pressures.
