Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Syrian tyrant Bashar al Assad had 'the blood of countless innocents on his hands' who had fled to Moscow 'with his tail between his legs'

The article from the Mirror discusses the current political and economic turmoil in Syria under President Bashar al-Assad's regime. It highlights Assad's recent humiliation when he was forced to cancel a planned visit to China due to his inability to secure an audience with President Xi Jinping, signaling a decline in his international standing. The piece details the dire economic situation in Syria, with the currency plummeting, widespread poverty, and a lack of basic services like electricity and water. It also touches on the ongoing civil war, the devastating effects of the 2023 earthquake, and the international isolation of Assad, with even allies like Russia and Iran showing signs of distancing themselves. The article portrays Assad as a leader whose grip on power is weakening, both domestically and internationally, amidst a backdrop of corruption, economic collapse, and a populace increasingly disillusioned with his rule.
