Best Bashar Al Assad Quotes | Short & Famous Sayings

“[...] il 7 ottobre 2011, in occasione dell'assassinio di Mechaal Tamo, figura di spicco dell'opposizione curda al regime, schierato e impegnato con la rivoluzione. La sua uccisione ha provocato manifestazioni in molte province del paese e 50.000 persone hanno partecipato al suo funerale a Kamechliyeh. Di fronte al coinvolgimento crescente della componente curda nella rivoluzione e alle dinamiche di incontro e unità con i suoi altri protagonisti i diversa provenienza, culminate nel venerdì "Hurria, Azadi" ("Libertà" in lingua araba e curda), il regime sceglie di giocare la carta della divisione, risparmiando le aree curde dalle distruzioni, anzi ritirandosene. [...] I giovani curdi hanno sfidato una dittatura che negava persino le loro esistenze e hanno dimostrato di non essere mossi solo o prevalentemente da rivendicazioni "nazionali" proprio rifiutando di accontentarsi del riconoscimento della loro cittadinanza, obiettivo per cui avevano lottato generazioni precedenti di curdi. In questa chiara scelta di schieramento erano compresenti il rifiuto di farsi comprare con un passaporto e la sfida alle logiche e alle formazioni politico-militari da decenni in competizione, anzi in lotta, tra di loro, alcune delle quali si erano collocate addirittura a fianco del regime di Assad.

“If Syria is to rise from the ashes it needs a united Arab world which has one thing on its agenda, not the falling of a dictator for we have seen many of those fall, but the reemergence of a prosperous Arab nation, one that is not reliant on foreign aid but is self-sustained and set on its way to become powerful once again.”

“The fervor and single-mindedness of this deification probably have no precedent in history. It's not like Duvalier or Assad passing the torch to the son and heir. It surpasses anything I have read about the Roman or Babylonian or even Pharaonic excesses. An estimated $2.68 billion was spent on ceremonies and monuments in the aftermath of Kim Il Sung's death. The concept is not that his son is his successor, but that his son is his reincarnation. North Korea has an equivalent of Mount Fuji—a mountain sacred to all Koreans. It's called Mount Paekdu, a beautiful peak with a deep blue lake, on the Chinese border. Here, according to the new mythology, Kim Jong Il was born on February 16, 1942. His birth was attended by a double rainbow and by songs of praise (in human voice) uttered by the local birds. In fact, in February 1942 his father and mother were hiding under Stalin's protection in the dank Russian city of Khabarovsk, but as with all miraculous births it's considered best not to allow the facts to get in the way of a good story.”

“Hillary Clinton has gotten every foreign policy challenge wrong. Hitting the reset button with Vladimir Putin - recall that she called Bashar Al-Assad a positive reformer and then she opened an embassy and then later she said, over, and over, and over again, "Bashar Al-Assad must go." Although she wasn't prepared to do anything about it.”
