I will spare you the video but you can find it on X if you look up the cousin, Suleiman Hilal al-Assad. He was arrested in 2015 for murdering a decorated guard, but was released in 2020 and also involved in drugs and weapons trafficking. I was looking out for official reports, and all reports that were indicating it was false was sourced from a link saying it's unconfirmed.

If true it seems so similar to Afghan withdrawal (except this time it's Russia's withdrawal). The Taliban which was the more conservative religious order took control of Afghanistan and got rid of the opium trade. I was speculating if something similar is going on in Syria?
