damascus. Syria’s ousted leader Bashar Assad said he had no plans to leave the country after his government collapsed a week ago, but Russian forces decided to evacuate him after his base in western Syria was attacked. These are Assad’s first comments since he was ousted from power by rebel groups. Assad said in a statement on Facebook that he left Damascus when rebels attacked the capital on the morning of December 8.
He said they coordinated with Russian allies to head to a Russian base camp in the coastal province of Latakia, where they planned to continue fighting. Assad said that after the Russian base camp was attacked by drones, the Russians decided to take him to Russia on the night of December 8. Assad said, “I did not leave the country under any plan as was being said earlier.” He said, “At no time during these incidents did I think of resigning or taking refuge nor was any such proposal made by any person or party. The only course of action was to continue the fight against the terrorist attack.
