About 9 years ago, Vogue celebrated the names of the lion and named them “Desert Rose” and presented them as a dynamic and reforming woman with an important role in civil society organizations, and in 2017 the magazine removed everything related to it. on their website and electronic platforms.
A report published by the “Daily Best” website, in which it monitors the appearance of names as a strong player on the Syrian scene, and even compared it to Serci Lancer from the series “The Battle of Thrones”, which is looking for some way to control and become the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
The report lists how Asmaa appeared as a reformist woman at a time when the dictatorship was overwhelming her country, where she appeared as an attractive and educated woman with a tone that seemed to be from the upper middle class, and her English with a British accent was very evident, and adopted subjects worthy of great interest to society.
Asmaa was known for her generous spending on jewelry and clothing, and even in times of war, rumors and news circulated in the Middle East that her husband Bashar bought her a million dollar billboard as a gift on her birthday.
Asthma, and despite its good image outside the country, lacked real communication with citizens, and even at home it was a problem among the wealthiest elites, which is what emerged most after the death of the mother of her husband, Anisa Makhlouf in 2016, who has always marginalized the role of Asma.
Even after Bashar received his command in power in 2000, Anisa was playing an important role in the country, expanding the influence of her family and relatives to become true centers of power within the country, but not through her son. principal.
His favorite son, Maher, has given him control over vital military units such as the Republican Guard and the Tank Battalion, and he even oversees the profits from selling oil in the Deir Al-Zour governorate, and his brother Mohamed Makhlouf and his sons. They have become prominent figures and control everything related to the economy.
Even in the media, journalists were not allowed to refer to Asma in the newspaper articles as the first lady, and unlike Bashar’s mother, who held this title until her death.
Over the years, rivalries also developed between Maher and his uncle Muhammad, who ran the Syrian Furat Oil Company, and were seen as a threat to him, according to the report.
After 2016, Asmaa began building a strong and independent foundation for her family, and even she was challenging some members and relatives of her husband’s family, Al-Assad, and sought to destroy Anisa’s legacy by finding competitors for the Makhlouf’s family of relatives.
Since the last quarter of last year, and at the beginning of May, the history of Rami Makhlouf Ibn Khal, president and in control of many vital economic projects in the country, including the telecommunications sector, has returned to the fore.
There were many rumors about Rami between his imprisonment by the authorities or his flight outside the country, or that he was detained at his palace on the outskirts of Damascus, while reports confirmed the arrest of managers at the Sertel Communications Company that he controls, and the arrest of other managers affiliated with him who run a charity affiliated with him. Armed militia.
The exercises with Rami started last August when Russia asked the Syrian regime to pay around $ 3 billion, as the regime at the time attempted to pressure Makhlouf to pay this bill.
By September Asma and a team of loyal employees managed to take over the Al-Bustan Cooperative Society, and in October it was also announced that it would establish a third telecommunications company in Syria and acquire Sertil’s market share, followed by an order to freeze the funds of the Rami companies in December and March.
During this period, Makhlouf’s assets were increasingly attacked and placed under the administration of Asma’s relatives, while last December he also announced that the assets of his uncle, Tarif al-Akhras, had been frozen.
Asma’s move to the economic field coincided with her war on breast cancer, which announced that she had recovered from last August, and after that periodically appeared in the media, and also put her children at the forefront of many public events. in one step to continue with the Assad family.
