In Assad’s heartland, villagers see Russians as saviours
Many Syrians in Tartus and Latakia view Vladimir Putin as a loyal friend who will deliver end to war.
“We reached the point where the Americans and the Saudis were against us, as well as the rebels, so we asked for help to bring an end to this war,” said Munzer Abdullah, a civil servant, in Jebleh. “Our army and our high command are tired so we need help from the Russians to get rid of our enemies.”
The Russians are the heroes of the hour. People greet the few foreigners who visit with a cheerful Russian “Dobry den!” and shout out their enthusiasm for President Putin, who they believe will deliver them from terrorism. Many think the west is supporting Isis, which they call by its Arabic acronym, Daesh.
We can see that the Russians are determined to defeat Daesh and the terrorists, whereas by contrast the Americans and their coalition don’t seem to have the same determination,” said Safwan al-Saada, the governor of Tartus. “In the last year they said they were fighting terrorism, but Daesh grew stronger, not weaker, so we can say their coalition is not serious.”
