Civil war broke out in 2011 after 13 years of rebellion
As soon as the news spread that President Bashar al-Assad was leaving the country amid the civil war in Syria, information was received from the flight tracker that Assad’s plane had taken off from Latakia in Syria and reached Moscow. According to data from the Flightradar website, on Sunday (December 8), a Russian military plane took off from Latakia and arrived in Moscow, believed to be Assad’s plane.
The rebellion in Syria began in 2011, when the Assad government brutally crushed pro-democracy protests. The conflict gradually escalated into a civil war, with several rebel groups rising up against the Assad government. Ultimately, this 13-year conflict toppled the Assad regime. By capturing Damascus, rebel groups not only ousted the Assad government but also gave the Syrian people a chance for a new start.

Assad, who fled his country, has immense wealth and if reports are to be believed, he has also taken several kilos of gold and money with him.
