Le Monde: Assad won the war with excellence

French newspaper “Le Monde” published an article, calling the Syrian war result that Syrian President Bashar Al Assad has actually won with excellence.

Assad won the war in Syria in its all aspects, militarily, politically and in diplomacy especially during the past six months, which give a clear image and confirm the scenario of the final victory of the Syrian state.

According to the “Le Monde” article, Bashar Al Assad won with excellence, as the article writer the political scientist Mariam bin Raad described.

Contradictory statements by the most important members of the US administration to ease the idea of ​​a rapid US withdrawal have taken place since the sudden announcement by President Donald Trump about the US troop’s withdrawal from Syria on December 19, 2018.

The latest US maneuvers don’t change anything in Damascus’ strategy since 2011, which is to restore total control of the country, but it raises some basic questions about the possible outcome of the war.

Bin Raad in her article pointed out that President Assad has never stopped expressing his determination to regain full control over the lost territories.

Assad has undoubtedly emerged stronger than the military operations launched by Syrian forces and their allies during the past year.

He managed to remove any security threat targeting the capital, leaving only some of the geographic enclaves that remain an obstacle to the prospect of the final and decisive victory of Damascus.

The recent developments in Idlib confirm the end of the Sochi agreement between Ankara and Moscow, with Turkey mainly focusing on the Kurdish region at the moment.

At the same time, the neutralization of the more moderate armed groups in Idlib opened the way for a large-scale military operation in Idlib.

The process is long promoted by Russia and will not be opposed by Turkey, pointing out that the atmosphere of victory prevails today in the streets of the Syrian capital, and that the military, political and diplomatic developments during the past six months confirm the scenario of the final victory of the Syrian state.

“It can be asserted without hesitation that Assad has won excellence in the conflict”, the article reveal.

Many countries, like the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, intend to reopen their embassies in Damascus and restore ties with Assad.

Opponents, many of whom are trying to get closer to Power and even stand behind them.

“As far as the Kurds are concerned, they felt betrayed by their American godfather and asked for President Assad’s protection against Turkey, and they have done this before”.

“The Kurds can only have very limited options because they stand alone against the Turkish army without any external support”.

“The return of Damascus’ sovereignty over the northeast of the country could be the starting point for more balanced talks with Ankara through mediation Russian, and thus will achieve President Assad’s goal of restoring full control of Syria after eight years of devastating conflict”.
