re: #369 thedopefishlives
Everything is on rumor at the moment. No one seems to have seen him in the past few days, particularly since the attacks began in Damascus proper and especially after the bombing that took out his defense ministers yesterday.
There are rumors that he’s out of Damascus and running things from one of his palaces in Latakia (Alawite majority town on the coast), and there are rumors that his presidential jet has taken off to points unknown.
None of the reports can be substantiated though he’s clearly unsure of his personal safety so he’s on the move and doesn’t know who he can trust. So, there’s a measure of safety in the silence/ambiguity.
