What's new

Syria's Assad wins 4th term with 95% of vote, in election the West calls fraudulent

Even Soeharto usually only get around 85 % :D

AlhamduliLLAH our leaders so far now when they need to steep down

Remembering when Soeharto voluntarily resigned in 1998


Jokowi reject the idea from one of his coalition parties to change constitution and allow him to compete in the 2024 Presidential election

He said the ide slapped his face

Too bad soeharto voluntarily resigned. He should have carried on and vow never to step down irrespective of a civil war or destruction/civil strife in the country. He should have said any Indonesian who stands against him is a terrorist and western/zionist lapdog. I'm sure he could have survived and still be in power or leave it to his son after he pass away, no matter the cost to the country. I'm sure he could have won "overwhelmingly" many more terms in office .🤣🤣

The reason of Soeharto step down is because our elite in general accept the idea from university students and scholars to let democracy come to the nation. The media is also supporting the idea by keep reporting the protest movement that happened across all universities in Indonesia, from Aceh province until South Sulawesi where the main forces in universities in Jakarta and West Java.

All Soeharto important ministers are resigned and parliament (which comes from unfair election) open their building and let university students and all academia (professor, lectures, alumni) to do the protest inside the parliament building complex.

Even Armed Force let it to happen since Army was guarding the complex, so the elites have understand that Indonesia should not under dictatorial regime anymore. This is that make Soeharto resigned.

Soeharto has prepares his oldest daughter to replace him

Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana (Tutut), the one that wear white dress. She is really good in speaking.

When Soeharto youngest son married, it is like you guys have prince William wedding :D
 

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad won a fourth term in office with 95.1% of the votes in an election that will extend his rule over a country ruined by war but which opponents and the West say was marked by fraud.

Assad's government says the election on Wednesday shows Syria is functioning normally despite the decade-old conflict, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people and driven 11 million people - about half the population - from their homes. read more

Head of parliament Hammouda Sabbagh announced the results at a news conference on Thursday, saying voter turnout was around 78%, with more than 14 million Syrians taking part.

The election went ahead despite a U.N.-led peace process that had called for voting under international supervision that would help pave the way for a new constitution and a political settlement.

The foreign ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Britain and the United States said in a statement criticising Assad ahead of the election that the vote would not be free or fair. Turkey, an Assad adversary, has also said the election was illegitimate.

The win delivers Assad, 55, seven more years in power and lengthens his family's rule to nearly six decades. His father, Hafez al-Assad, led Syria for 30 years until his death in 2000.

Assad's years as president have been defined by the conflict that began in 2011 with peaceful protests before spiralling into a multi-sided conflict that has fractured the Middle Eastern country and drawn in foreign friends and enemies. read more

"Thank you to all Syrians for their high sense of nationalism and their notable participation. ... For the future of Syria's children and its youth, let's start from tomorrow our campaign of work to build hope and build Syria," Assad wrote on his campaign's Facebook page.


Assad's biggest challenge, now that he has regained control of around 70% of the country, will be an economy in decline.

Tightening U.S. sanctions, neighbouring Lebanon's financial collapse, the COVID-19 pandemic hitting remittances from Syrians abroad and the inability of allies Russia and Iran to provide enough relief, mean prospects for recovery look poor.

Rallies with thousands of people waving Syrian flags and holding pictures of Assad while singing and dancing took place all day Thursday in celebration of the election.

Officials have told Reuters privately that authorities organised the large rallies in recent days to encourage voting, and the security apparatus that underpins Assad's Alawite minority-dominated rule had instructed state employees to vote.

The vote was boycotted by the U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces who administer an autonomous oil-rich region in the northeast and in northwestern Idlib region, the last existing rebel enclave, where people denounced the election in large demonstrations on Wednesday. read more

Assad was running against two obscure candidates, former deputy Cabinet minister Abdallah Saloum Abdallah and Mahmoud Ahmed Marei, head of a small, officially sanctioned opposition party.

Marei got 3.3% of the vote, while Saloum received 1.5%, Sabbagh said.


THE FCKER ASSAD RENINDES ME OF GENERAL ZIA,:yahoo:
 
Even Zia was a saint compared to this clown. At least Zia wanted to make his motherland a better place unlike Assad.

Assad can save his nation if he made fair election and let OIC members to foresee the election so that it will be fair. Of course it means Sunni leaders will likely lead, but it is natural since 80 % of Syrian is Sunni Muslim.

I dont know what in his mind and also Qadafi, we should live in this world to make contribution which can be our deed for our after life. His time is getting closer, he will likely death 30 years from now and he will be judged by Allah as why he doesnt let democracy to come as it will be the best way to avoid civil war that cause many deaths and destruction on his own nation
 
What does 95% support of Syrian got to do with import of foreign assistance to win the war?
Whats not clear? If you have 95% you will never have rebellion in your country and surely you will not need to import fighters abroad,

Assad had 600 K army with 5000 tanks and 500 jets prior the revolt. With 600 K he could crush all rebels in 1 day. But 90% of this army deserted.

Assad murdered and deported 13 million of Syrian population out of 21 million.

As if all anti Assad rebel are local Syrian? Why not ask ISIS and anti Assad rebel to used Syrian only?
ISIS are best helpers of Assad. Before ISIS came to Syria 60% was in rebel hands. Then ISIS came in and attacked the rebels. ISIS and Assad never really fought each other,
 
Fun fact for Khomenist supporters here.

In 1980 there were open and free presidential elections in Iran.

1st place took secular candidate Banisard with 76%
2nd place took another secular candidate Madani with 16%.

Khomenist candidate Habibi got only 5% of votes. That's real support of them in Iran,

Year later Khamenai expelled both Banisadr and Madani from the country. Of course since then only specially approved candidates can run "elections" in Iran.
 

I have nothing against Egypt and Egyptians but man for God sake, You should be the last one to talk about elections.
At the moment, Egypt has turned into cum dump of west. They are filling your society/military with their useless garbages and instead enslaving your country.
Now Start salking sh*t about Iran China cooperation pact which hasnt even received parliamentary aaproval :lol:
You know that this is not election but election is not guarantee to democracy and democracy is not guarantee to progress
I'm not fan of conspiracy theories that say westerns are evils but not say anything about eastern block
Egypt buy weapons from international sources like Russia China Arab states Europeans even north Korea
Surprise for you anti western friend Egypt will replace American hardwares slowly but ongoing because United States prefer to sale weakest weapons to Egypt and we are growing and modernizing our military industry
About China deal I think you have no choices because your economy is in deep problems and also you can't find any allie stronger and richer than China so it will be approved good or bad

You just called banisadr (MKO communist supporter) secular! Banisadr is a double faced bastard ...

Please don't make me laugh...

No, totally false! The Islamic Consultative Assembly or Majles, i.e. the Iranian Parliament was the one that legally impeached Bani Sadr on June 21, 1981. In other words, an institution directly elected by the majority of voters interrupted Bani Sadr's mandate in perfect conformity with the Iranian Constitution. Stop spreading disinformation or trying to brazenly rewrite history here.

Bani Sadr was popular only for so long as he staid loyal to the principles of the Revolution led by Imam Khomeini (r. a.). When he began deviating from this path, he lost his popular support. It is precisely for cases such as these that the Iranian constitution had introduced the possibility for the Parliament to impeach the President, so that when the latter betrays the majority who voted for him, he may be held accountable by elected parliamentary representatives of that same majority. Extremely democratic, if I'm asked!

And Madani? Nobody "expelled" him. Nor did anyone "expel" Bani Sadr, by the way - just another factual mistake by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. Both these individuals fled the country on their own volition (in Bani Sadr's case, dressed as a female!). Ahmad Madani was suspected of secretly working with an enemy state, i.e. the US regime, a serious crime indeed.

Also, in many subsequent presidential elections, candidates who received more than 51% of the votes were perfectly loyal to the system. And voter turnouts were elevated in those elections. The popular support enjoyed by the Islamic Republic is therefore considerable, and Imam Khomeini's (r. a.) popular backing was absolutely overwhelming. No academic or scholar worthy of that name has ever disputed this. The attendance at the Imam's funeral broke all world records, and that record was once again broken at shahid Soleimani's funeral procession in Tehran. That's an accurate measure of the Islamic Republic's popularity.

By the way, most Iranian users here are not Khomeinists, and you know it. Many are even secularists. But what they all have in common, is that they are patriots who came to undersand that there's absolutely no alternative to the Islamic Republic. They may not share the IR's ideology, but they will remain loyal to it because they are perfectly aware of the fact that the enemies of the IR, i.e. the zionist regime as well as its western and regional stooges, also happen to be mortal enemies of the Iranian nation, which they intend to destroy and to balkanize, just as they destroyed numerous other nation-states of the region over the past few decades (Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Yemen and so on), in perfect conformity with zionist and American policy documents such as the Bernard Lewis project, the Oded Yinon plan, the Ralph Peters and the Arthur Cebrowski schemes. Schemes which furthermore were publicly announced by US general Wesley Clarke in person.

So Iranians here (and elsewhere) know that "regime change" in their country will be synonymous with permanent territorial disintegration and civilizational annihilation. And this means zionists lost the information war. Even non-religious, secularist Iranians are increasingly lending support to the Islamic Republic. The exiled opposition are more and more viewed as what they really are, a bunch of marginal incompetent clowns and traitors on the payroll of the Iranian nation's existential foes.

Yeah, the person whose newspaper (which he continued to publish in exile) is called "Islamic Revolution" ("Enghelābe Eslāmi"), a secularist. Hahaha.

Ammā dādāsh, cherā pāsokhesho nemidin vaghti ke 'alanan durugh mige va edde'ā mikone ke Emām (r.a.) Bani Sadr rā estizā' kard yā az keshvar ekhrāj kard? Mikhād in durugho bā porruyi tu zehne Pakestānihā jā bendāze. Har vaght ino nevesht, benshuninesh sare jāsh. @Muhammed45

Try and fool the majority of Pakistani users as well as some Iranians who for whatever reason won't point out your manipulations, but not me.
You are replying to a known Hasbara troll. He does not even know what he is talking about.. just want to sound smart on Iranian politics. He will respond and engage fully if you use these keywords ''Shia militias'' ''Barrel bombs'' ''Assadists'' ''Khameneists'' etc He can not exceed this vocabulary.

I know this very well. And obviously, my reply was not directed at him, but at the (mostly Pakistani) users prone to falling for his systematic, mono-maniacal anti-Iranian disinformation campaign (his sole purpose and task on this forum). His antics ought to be countered - best would be to keep it short and "Twitter style", unlike my above reply, and hammer each one of his known propagandistic mantras with an adequate, incisive response. For instance, whenever he utters obvious fabrications about Bani Sadr, immediately set the record straight by reminding that democratically elected Majles was the one which impeached him. Etc.
