CB 6_“Syria’s Assad reportedly makes rare public appearance”



“Syria’s Assad reportedly makes rare public appearance”

The Syrian President, Bashar Assad, had visited a Damascus power station after a bomb had hit the capital. The bombing at the capital was the work of rebels who are trying to overthrow Assad. As the rebels continue to over through the government, the rebels are accusing Assad’s allies of aiding the Syrian military to stop the uprising. As tensions continue, Assad’s public appearance may had been a tactic in gaining support for his government by illustrating his legitimacy as a ruler and that he actually cares about his people.  With public appearances, any government can show their legitimacy and prove that any rebels trying to take over do not have that kind of legitimacy and are nothing more than terrorists.
