As the ongoing internal conflicts in Syria and reports of jihadist groups entering Damascus receive extensive coverage in the world press, the fact that Bashar al-Assad has not been seen and has not appeared before the press despite announcements that he would make a statement has raised numerous questions.
Although government spokespeople continue to state that the situation in Syria is not being reflected accurately and that Assad has not left the country, very different claims are being put forward by the foreign press.
Finally, a report in Bloomberg included the claim that Assad had sent a message to the jihadist groups and stated that he was open to an agreement.
