War in Syria: The price Assad pays in private life

New evidence from the inner circle of the Syrian regime, published this weekend in The Washington Post reveals the price Bashar Assad and his family are paying in their private lives, following the civil war in Syria.


Recently Assad is hardly seen in public, and is hardly giving interviews and speeches. He has become almost invisible, and remains in contact with a small number of relatives and advisers – in whom he believes that he can trust.


Syrian media reported that the President has increased the security around him, and according to reports, which the American newspaper could not verify, he moves from one bedroom to another bedroom every night, and increases the control over food preparation, to prevent the possibility of assassination.

Middle Eastern information officials said, according to the testimonies of defectors of Assad's regime that he does not go out during the day from his house, for fear of a rebel sniper killing him.


And the psychological price is being paid not only by Assad, but also his wife Asma. Cousin of the Syrian president's wife, Risha Al - Akhras, wrote a very harsh letter to Asma Assad, published on the Facebook page associated with the Christians in Syria support the revolution.

"Are you sure that your children are eating their breakfast as usual, or did you feel a short supply because you did not find what will satisfy their needs?" Wondered the relative and continued the strong attack against Asma: "Have you heard about the massacre in Hlfaia? I think you're busy preparing for the Christmas party and do not know the residents of Homs have become refugees, deportees and displaced persons."


She even promised Asma: "Someday the Syrian Revolution will win and Allah will catch up with you, and I will not be angry about what will happen to you, because I will not care about your blood."
