With the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, regime soldiers continue to flee to Iraq. The district governor of Rutba, Imad al-Duleimi, reported that 2,100 soldiers belonging to the Syrian army have sought refuge in the district.

THEY WERE RELOCATED TO MARSANAT AIRPORT

Providing information about the situation of the soldiers, al-Duleimi stated that the soldiers have been relocated to Marsanat Airport, which is 70 kilometers away from Rutba district.

THEY HAVE NO ELECTRICITY OR WATER

Al-Duleimi noted that the fleeing soldiers are being housed in tents and that there are insufficient electricity, water, and heating facilities in the area, adding that a large portion of the fleeing soldiers wish to return to their country.

DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIA

The process leading to the overthrow of the 61-year-old Baath regime in Syria began on November 27, with the intensification of clashes between anti-regime armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces.

As 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, and the deposed leader of the Baath regime, Assad, fled the capital. Following the overthrow of the Baath regime in Syria, the Prime Minister of the interim government, Muhammad al-Bashir, has taken office.
