Local Editor

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s inauguration is to be held in the country on Thursday, with a close expert saying that al-Assad’s ouster is now unquestionable even by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

According to an expert close to the government in Damascus who directs the Damascus Center for Strategic Studies, Bassam Abu Abdallah, he said that three years on, the question of al-Assad’s ouster is "no longer on the cards."

"Even the Americans, the Saudis and the Qataris [who back the revolt)] are no longer calling for that," he said.
