Bashar al-Assad maintained strict secrecy about his plans to leave Syria during his regime's downfall. According to more than a dozen informed sources who spoke to Reuters, he deliberately misled or withheld information from his aides, officials and family members.
At a defence ministry gathering of approximately 30 army and security leaders, Assad gave false assurances about incoming Russian military support and urged the ground forces to maintain their positions, according to an anonymous commander who attended the briefing.
