Al-Assad is besieged in his cage!!
Al-Riyadh's Editorial
Published in Alriyadh on 07 - 08 - 2012

The Syrian Opposition & the Free Army are achieving new gains every day, such as the latest arresting of forty eight Iranians who were classified as military personnel sent by their authority to Syria for supporting the Syrian regime. This time, investigations may expose through documents a direct Iranian involvement. The big strike before this was the blowing of National Security Building which terminated the basic characters in charge of drafting and executing the supreme decisions.
Splits succeeded after that & included the Prime Minister with ministers and senior army officers which represent keys of many important secrets related to the authority. Some major characters that have got similar secrets preceded this last dose and included Al-Shara, the astronaut. This demonstrates that the running of such basic parts of the chain shall raise doubts & distrust in the circle around the president, security bodies and the army. Some smuggled news state that Al-Assad & his regime protection is subjected to members (i.e. guards) from Iran & Hezbollah now. This means that even followers of Al-Assad's same sect have become suspected now and that Al-Assad have become meticulous & solicitous from the food, water & whatever related to the daily life as the attack shall be either poisons or explosives. Under such psychological pressure; AL-Assad has started to behave in a frightened way, which reflects his fear from his dark destiny, through issuing the killing orders verbally due to his fear from the technological penetrations by which he may be spied over and monitored. This psychological siege, horror and chasing of the unknown ghosts have doubled the fear which is surrounding him. This is a positive success for the Free Army which knows the internal reality in the critical centers of intelligence and security. This suggests that the state's system is falling apart through the great escape. The reason behind such suggestion is the realistic interpretation of that Al-Assad is living his last days now.
Some parties believe that there are some individuals from the internal structure of security body who are cooperating with the opposition. Otherwise, how some authority members of big positions are breaking away and being smuggled out of Syria in spite of that their movements are monitored and communications are listened to secretly, rather than the iron siege, the monitoring & the adherence to work timing and places which are subjected to the authority's eyes, especially the eyes of Al-Assad and his agents?!
Seeking the safety is a basic motive for sure but the significance is that the Syrian authority is fragmenting internally while the motive behind the splits has become an obsession for most leaderships and officials of the critical centers. It may be that the poor morale, breaking the barrier of fear, provision of the safe haven & facilitating the travel out of Syria in spite of the existence of the barriers, police stations and checkpoints have scattered the minds of authority people and led to the escape of its members.
How are these splits happening, in spite of that Russia, Iran & China are providing the Syrian regime with high technologies equipment such as the security apparatus, the telecommunication equipments and the anti-penetration tools, unless there is another front which is fighting through higher technologies. It is enough to mention here that entering into the deepest spots of the fortified positions and striking them has been a mission that confused the allies. Accordingly, the Syrian regime is not losing its men and protection shields only but is suffering, as well, from its weak means, in spite of that it used to count the breaths of its men who are occupying high positions and its foes, at the same time, while its protection shield is exposed!
Let's discuss now the issue of the open borders facing Turkey & Jordan which have become out of control in regard to the crossing of individuals, arms, spies and others. This is happening even in Lebanon, in spite of the Lebanese authority fear to be thought of as a supporting party for the rebels and the opposition. However, controlling the borders have become difficult there, especially in regard to facing the groups of people who support the revolution, whether Muslims or even Christians.
Al Assad is living in his closed cage and the evidence of this is that he is not appearing in public for delivering speeches now. Such situation is a real interpretation of his tough & complicated situation inside his prison that has been imposed on him by force.
