Assad's Luxury Exile: From Syria's Dictator to Moscow Gamer

Description

Bashar al-Assad, the former Syrian dictator, enjoys a lavish exile in Moscow, residing in a multi-million pound high-rise tower with his family. Despite the opulence, he leads a quiet life, studying Russian, playing online games, and honing his ophthalmology skills. His wife battles leukemia, and his children are with him. Putin treats him more like a guest than an ally, amidst rumors of a poisoning attempt. This stark contrast to his past as a brutal ruler and the civil war he fled is a far cry from the suffering he left behind.
