After a tense period and the escalation of the civil war in Syria, President Bashar al-Assad became the subject of much speculation after a mysterious event that occurred on August 5, 2012. According to reports from the Reuters news agency and other Syrian sources, he has lost all contact with the public after the surprise advance of the rebels, who took control of important cities in the north of the country, including Aleppo.
In the past week before this incident, Syrian rebels managed to capture a number of cities and destroy the government's front lines. This sudden advance led to widespread speculation that Bashar al-Assad may have lost control and was at a disadvantage. Following these events, reports suggested he had flown from Damascus to an unknown destination, further raising doubts about his safety.
At the time of Assad's disappearance, a Syrian Air plane took off from Damascus airport around evening time. According to data from the Flightradar system, the plane first flew towards the coastal region of Syria, a stronghold of Assad's Alawite sect, but after a few minutes it took a sudden turn and changed course for several minutes, disappearing from radar.
This incident raised many suspicions, including the possibility that the plane had a technical problem or that the transponder had been turned off to hide information. Some Syrian sources, however, suggested that the possibility that the plane had suffered an accident and crashed was quite high, suggesting darker possibilities for the president's fate.
In addition to the hypothesis of an air crash, there was other speculation about the possibility that Bashar al-Assad had sought refuge in one of his main allies, such as Moscow or Tehran. Both of these states were strong supporters of the Assad regime during the civil war and had provided ongoing aid to keep his regime stable.
For more than a week, the whereabouts of President Assad remained uncertain, prompting numerous reactions from various media and analysts. However, no accurate information became available about his fate until the last moments. After a few days, it was confirmed that Bashar al-Assad had survived and was still in Damascus, where he appeared in public again to reassure allied nations that he would remain in power, despite fierce rebel attacks.
Although many of the details of his flight and disappearance remain unclear, the August 5 event remains one of the most mysterious and disturbing moments of the Syrian civil war.
