Assad advisor sparks debate
The former political advisor to Bashar al-Assad, Bouthaina Shaaban, announced her defection from the Syrian regime after a year and a half since its fall, describing it as a "criminal" regime. Her announcement sparked controversy and ridicule due to its timing. She is considered one of the close figures of the previous regime and played an media role in defending the regime during the revolution. Observers viewed her declaration as an attempt to evade accountability, while Syrian officials confirmed that her funds and the assets of other regime figures had been seized in favor of the state. The Syrian public continues to reject former regime symbols, considering them responsible for its practices.
