He travelled the length and breadth of the country, improving more than 200 of the greatest estates in the land, for some of the most influential people in the 18th century. But there is one plan that never got off the drawing board – his own garden.

Why the Fall of Syria Checkmates Russia & Iran

But a renewed rebel offensive against the government that began at the end of November 2024 exposed the Assad regime in the country as an empty house of cards. The Assad family’s rule in the country was decisively overthrown in a matter of only 11 days.
