Syria continues to undergo radical changes after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Recently, the armed opposition reported the public execution of Suleiman al-Assad, the cousin of the former president. According to Alkhali24, the execution took place in the central square of Latakia.

Suleiman al-Assad led the National Defense Forces, a pro-government militia created to support the army in the fight against the opposition. According to the source, the reason for his execution was his family ties to Bashar al-Assad and accusations of crimes against those who disagreed with the previous regime.

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin had no information about Suleiman al-Assad's execution. However, he stressed that Moscow was closely monitoring the situation in Syria and maintaining contacts with the new authorities, given the presence of Russian military bases and diplomatic missions in the region.

After the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, the new Syrian authorities began active actions against representatives of the previous regime. It is reported that officers of the former government army are being persecuted, while an amnesty has been declared for ordinary soldiers. Mohammed Alloush, the former head of the opposition delegation at the talks in Geneva and Astana, noted that the fate of Russian military bases in Syria will be decided taking into account the interests of the Syrian people and Russia.

The situation in Syria remains unstable. The international community is closely monitoring developments, expressing concern about possible consequences for regional security. Experts emphasize the need for dialogue between the new authorities and international partners to prevent further escalation of the conflict.

Remarkably, Suleiman Assad himself did not attempt to flee Syria like his brother Bashar Assad, even despite the complete capture of the Syrian capital.
