Saudi insider explains what went wrong with Assad's leadership in Syria

Saudi officials maintain non-stop talks with regional actors after Bashar al-Assadʼs exit from power (a saudi source told reuters on Dec 8th)

The kingdom works hard to keep Syria stable: “We talk with Turkey and all other involved parties“ the source explained adding they dont know where Assad is now

The Turkish government tried to work with Syria but got rejected . The current mess comes from Syrian governments refusal to talk politics

Assad visited saudi arabia in mid-23 after being out for 12 yrs to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman — this move shouldʼve pushed syria to work better with opposition groups but nothing changed. The source noted that they warned about how shaky everything was; however syrian leadership didnt listen

The changes in syria show some good signs: no blood was spilled during power shift and key players want to keep state structures working. “We see positive steps in protecting syriaʼs independence and minority rights‚“ the official said adding that saudi arabia will help keep things moving forward

• State institutions stay protected
• Syria keeps its independence
• Minority groups get their rights
• Peace remains during changes
