What Strategies Of The Assad Government Have Earned Him The Passionate Support Of The Syrian People?
Unlike most neighbours of Iraq like Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, whose attitude towards the Iraqi refugee is cold and utterly inflexible, it is Syria who has a totally different disposition about the entire issue. The credit goes wholly to the Assad government who incorporated timely strategies to extend their support to the Iraqi refugees, not only managing to gain growing public support but also succeeding in garnering hearty approval in most of the Arab world. This support of Syria topped with its pejorative position regarding US policy in Iraq has proved to be a double success for the government of Bashar Assad. Despite of refugee crisis factors like homelessness and inflation and unemployment, the statistical dimension to the matter doesn’t fade in significance at all, divulging a whooping figure of 1.5 million Iraqi refugees in Syria, to whom other neighbouring countries refused to offer any aegis in this difficult time.
