    Barak Barfi

But the primary cause of President Bashar al-Assad’s downfall is that he presided over a disintegrating social contract, enabling his enemies to forge new coalitions organized around meeting the everyday needs of Syria’s people.

    explains why Bashar al-Assad’s government collapsed so quickly, placing most of the blame on Assad himself.
