Known as the power behind the throne, Asma al Assad, wife of the Syrian President, Bashar, is a force to be reckoned with. The glamorous and much maligned First Lady has been keeping a low profile of late.
Her last public appearance in Syria was in January when she appeared
with her husband and children at a pro-regime march in Damascus.
Since
then, Syria has descended into civil war and concrete evidence of the
torture measures that her husband's regime routinely used on his people
has emerged. In the present day, Bashar al Assad's forces continue to
use cluster bombs and TNT on Syrian civilians and rebel troops alike.
But for Asma, the world is a much softer place
of family gatherings and shopping trips to London for the latest pair
of Louboutin heels. This week news emerged that amidst the death and
destruction in their country, the Assads have found time to plan some
new life of their own.
According to online
newspaper, 'Akhbar Shabab Soriya' (Syria Youth News), Asma al Assad is
five months pregnant with her fourth child. The 37-year-old British born
and educated First Wife will be looking forward to some more time on
London's high streets, dressing up the latest addition to the
controversial Syrian family no doubt.
