Commemorating Adib al-Shishakli's demise
The article recalls the assassination of Adib al-Shishakli, the former Syrian president, who was killed in Brazil in 1964, ten years after leaving Syria and resigning from the presidency. It sheds light on his military and political career, starting from his upbringing in Hama in 1909, his transition from a military officer to one of the leading figures who led military coups in Syria, up to his presidency and his founding of the Arab Liberation Movement. His rule saw escalating internal conflicts, especially in the Jebel al-Arab region, and a deterioration in relations with the opposition, which forced him to resign and leave the country. He settled in exile in Brazil, where he was assassinated—suspected to be motivated by events in Jebel al-Arab. His political legacy remains controversial, between his attempts to consolidate central authority and expand the influence of the army, and the internal conflicts and tensions his rule left behind. His memory is still linked to a turbulent period in Syria's modern history.
