The Assad forces that fled to Iraq held a protest! Their demand is to return.

After the armed opposition groups led by HTS overthrew the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, regime soldiers who sought refuge in Iraq want to return to their country.

The soldiers, who organized a protest to realize their demands, also shared images of the protest on social media.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On November 27, clashes intensified between anti-regime armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups had gained dominance in the largest cities such as Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs between November 30 and December 7.

As the groups began to enter the capital Damascus on December 7, with support from the masses, the regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions, leading to its collapse. The 61-year rule of the Ba'ath Party came to an end, and regime leader Assad fled the capital.
