President Bashar al-Assad — the controversial dictator leader of war-torn Syria — has hopped on the Instagram wagon. Under the account name "syrianpresidency," Assad and his dwindling government have posted pictures of the president and his wife (in fact, there are a lot of photos of the first lady) posing with sick people in hospitals, the elderly and of course school children in yet another attempt to shed positive propaganda on Assad's catastrophic regime. Syria and its people continue to be ravaged by a brutal civil war that pushed death tolls and refugee numbers to massive levels. In fact, Syria is at the epicenter of the world's most catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile, its president is posting up all smiles and flattering pics on his Instagram. Check them out.
