We are happy to present the second issue of our new #OSINT product, @EdamOrg's Defense Intelligence Sentinel, focusing on the recent reshuffles in #Syria:
The Baath Regime and the Syrian Game of Thrones: Hafez Al-Assad’s Strategic Legacy at its Best!
edam.org.tr/en/the-baath-r…
The ‘DNA’ of Hafez al-#Assad’s legacy and strategic pillars of the #Syrian #Baath regime are centered on playing emerging figures and security branches against each other, pursuing power consolidation continuously, and being mistrustful and vigilant always.
The #Assad rule is the product of a coup. It, in essence, remains a sectarian minority dictatorship that should walk a fine line both internally and externally.
The system that Hafez al-#Assad designed is a complex one. The raison d’être of the #Syrian state apparatus is to protect the president against all challenges, foreign and domestic.
One should not forget that Bashar has inherited this very political-military legacy which, ironically, led to the Sunni uprisings, and at the same time, kept the regime’s resiliency so far.
