Bashar al-Assad

President of Syria from 2000 until the fall of his government on 8 December 2024. Assad inherited power from his father Hafez al-Assad and ruled for 24 years through a combination of Ba'athist party control, military force, sectarian networks, and Russian and Iranian backing. The civil war that began in 2011 cost over 500,000 lives and displaced more than half the Syrian population before the rapid HTS-led offensive ended his rule.
