Re: Uprising in Syria

Why triangulate when you can strangulate opposing sources of information?

I guess the tracks you lay are your own.

What happened to Assad’s army in Damascus? Where did they go? Do they just go home, burn all their army clothes and hang out with the wife n kids? Same goes for his former government people….

The government people are still working, not sure about the army.

There were a lot of TV reports showing Assad military getting out of their uniforms and putting on civilian clothes, and melting into the crowds. They were demoralised, hadn't been paid for months (apart from the bodyguards and torturers) and could read the tea leaves better than anyone on here.

The fall of the Assad regime

On 8 December 2024, Jalali acknowledged the fall of President Assad's Baathist government and announced that he was extending his hand to the opposition, emphasizing the preservation of state institutions. Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the leader of Tahrir al-Sham, announced that al-Jalali would head the government on an interim basis until the formalization of a new governing arrangement. Later that day, al-Jalali called for democratic elections to be held so the Syrian people could choose their new leaders. He stated that the Tahrir al-Sham Front contacted the leaders, and the armed men promised that there would be no repression. Al-Jalali also said that he and 18 other ministers had made their decision to stay in Damascus and not leave the country. On the same day, a video was published showing al-Jalali being escorted in Damascus by Tahrir al-Sham militia.

The following day, Mohammed al-Bashir was appointed as new Prime Minister of the Syrian Transitional Government and al-Jalali withdrew from his duties.

It was all prearranged according to Maajid Nawaz.

You can add Afghanistan and Israel to that list too.

Israel now encroaching into Syria territory. ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgm9w2ym39go )

It's supposedly a temporary thing, to ensure the security of the border. I rather think it will not be temporary and will lead to fresh conflict in the future when Syria gets back on its feet and decides to restore the pre December 2024 situation with regards the border.

It may decide to restore the pre 1967 situation with regards to the border - in line with UN resolutions and international law.

That would cause a meltdown in some capitals (not just Tel Aviv).

Syria is due to be a key player in the end-game so this has been expected; Damascus will be a 'heap of ruins' in a coming day and we know this hasn't been fulfilled before because Damascus is said to be "the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world".

Who says that? Historians and archaeologists, or someone else?

Re: Uprising in Syria

Isaiah, and bear in mind he wrote about Bethlehem being chosen for the arrival of the Messiah 800 years before it happened:-

This message came to me concerning Damascus:

“Look, the city of Damascus will disappear!
It will become a heap of ruins.
2 The towns of Aroer will be deserted.
Flocks will graze in the streets and lie down undisturbed,
with no one to chase them away.

Chapter 17:1-2.

If you are asking about continuously inhabited then look here > Word Heritage Convention

Well, that's nonsense. The third sentence says "Excavations at Tell Ramad on the outskirts of the city have demonstrated that Damascus was inhabited as early as 8,000 to 10,000 BC." when we all know that everything was invented 6,000 years ago!
