[327] This resulted in much criticism, and was described by The Atlantic Wire as "a propaganda campaign that ultimately has made the [Assad] family look worse". [24] Upon graduation from flying school he won a best-aviator trophy,[22][23] and shortly afterwards was assigned to the Mezze air base near Damascus. Smuggling goods from Lebanon became common.

Hailing from Sargodha, a city in Punjab, Asad started his first-class career at the age of 17 for Faisalabad against Sialkot in 2005. [300] In 2016, Assad met with a French delegation,[301] which included former leader of the youth movement of the National Front Julien Rochedy [fr]. The Muslim Brotherhood is a banned organisation and its membership is a capital offence in Syria. [158] The renewed Egyptian military offensive was ill-conceived. [87][88], In August, the cartoonist Ali Farzat, a critic of Assad's government, was attacked. A 1998 drop in oil prices dealt a major blow to Syria's economy; when oil prices rose the following year, the Syrian economy partially recovered.

[40] Assad's youngest brother, Majd, was not a public figure and little is known about him other than he was intellectually disabled,[41] and died in 2009 after a "long illness". [16] He wanted to fly, and entered the flying school in Aleppo in 1950. [43] In 1982, he graduated from high school and then studied medicine at Damascus University.[49]. [143] The new relationship bore fruit, and between February 1971 and October 1973 Assad met several times with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. [111] He did not abandon the hope of succeeding his brother, opting to take control of the country through his post as Commander of Defense Companies.
