If these two countries thought of withdrawing from Syria, Bashar al-Assad's regime would fall in a few days. And now despite its presence in Syria providing it with military, security and economic support, the signs of the fall of the regime continue. Proof of this is the great economic collapse suffered by the areas controlled by the regime and the protests, sit-ins and activities carried out carried out by our revolutionaries.""Syrians have not known or participated in elections in five decades and those who participated did so under coercive forces. This regime has monopolized the democratic process under the cover of the murderous dictatorial regime, so what happened in previous elections does not concern us. ""How can these elections represent Syrians when hundreds of thousands of people are in the regime's prisons perhaps just because of their political vision?

Therefore, the regime continues to rely on a military solution and uses the political process to keep the world occupied. ""Syrians cannot meet and congregate at a table in one place in the presence of this regime and the leader of this regime. It is not possible to expel foreign forces and stop the killings without the departure of Bashar al-Assad. You cannot fight. against terrorism and the world cannot restore its relationship with the Syrians and the Syrian state, nor can the refugee problem be solved without ridding itself of Bashar al-Assad.
