What the recent protests in Syria tell us about Assad's grip on power
In mid-August protests erupted in the government-held Syrian city of Suwayda after Bashar al-Assad's embattled government slashed fuel subsidies, driving up the cost of living in a country where the economy was already battered by high inflation and a civil war that has gone on for more than a decade.

Syria and Assad regime welcomed back into Arab League after years of civil war
Twelve years ago, the people of Syria rose up against the regime of Bashar al-Assad as the Arab Spring uprisings swept the Middle East. Assad proceeded to kill, bomb, starve, poison and brutalize his people, and does still. He became an international pariah. Now, he is being welcomed back into the Arab League, a group that suspended Syria from its ranks in 2011. Stephanie Sy reports.

President Assad: 'Fleeing Syria was never on the cards'
Syria's President Bashar Assad insists he had no intention of leaving the country during the height of the civil war.
Speaking exclusively to Sky News Arabia, Assad blamed the war on outside powers and said he would have left the country if his people had called for it.
Half of Syria's 23 million residents were displaced by the war, with five million of them leaving the country.
Assad and his regime are considered pariah by the West but are slowing being brought into the fold by other countries in the Middle East.

Syrian Government Forces Continue Deployment in Eastern Syria
Syrian government forces continued their deployment in eastern Syria, Wednesday, October 23, at the request of the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces.
–––––––––
READ MORE: Russian military police began patrols on part of the Syrian border Wednesday, quickly moving to implement an accord with Turkey that divvies up control of northeastern Syria. The Kremlin told Kurdish fighters to pull back from the entire frontier or else face being "steamrolled" by Turkish forces.
Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin reached an agreement Tuesday that would transform the map of northeast Syria, installing their forces along the border and filling the void left by the abrupt withdrawal of American troops.

The protesters are mainly from the Suwayda's Druze community, a religious minority group which has remained neutral for much of Syria's civil war but has begun demanding the ousting of Assad at a time when he has enjoyed renewed diplomatic support in the Middle East after recapturing much of Syria.
Asmaa al-Omar, a journalist based in Istanbul, says that these protests show that despite Assad's international rehabilitation and his claims that he has emerged the victor from the decade-long conflict, it is far from over.

Syrian government forces continued their deployment in eastern Syria, Wednesday, October 23, at the request of the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces.
–––––––––
READ MORE: Russian military police began patrols on part of the Syrian border Wednesday, quickly moving to implement an accord with Turkey that divvies up control of northeastern Syria. The Kremlin told Kurdish fighters to pull back from the entire frontier or else face being "steamrolled" by Turkish forces.
Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin reached an agreement Tuesday that would transform the map of northeast Syria, installing their forces along the border and filling the void left by the abrupt withdrawal of American troops. The Kurdish fighters, who once relied on the U.S. forces as protection from Turkey, were given a deadline of next Tuesday evening to pull back from border areas they have not already left.
The new agreement with Russia allows Turkey to keep sole control over that area. For the rest of the northeastern border, Russian and Syrian government forces will move in to ensure the Kurdish fighters leave. Then after the deadline runs out Tuesday, Turkish and Russian forces will jointly patrol a strip 10-kilometers (6 miles) deep along the border.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday, a U.S. brokered ceasefire in Turkey's assault on Kurds in northeastern Syria has become permanent and Washington is lifting sanctions imposed on Ankara.
“Early this morning Turkey informed my administration that they would be stopping combat and their offensive in Syria, and making the ceasefire permanent and it will indeed be permanent” Trump said. However, Trump added “the word permanent in that part of the world is somewhat questionable.”
