This page (numbered 8) appears to be part of a background report or article regarding Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. It details his rise to power following the death of his brother Basil in 1994, his initial economic reforms (private banking, internet, stock exchange), and his subsequent hardening into an authoritarian ruler relying on cronies like his cousin Rami Makhlouf. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp, indicating it was collected as evidence, likely from Jeffrey Epstein's files, though Epstein himself is not mentioned on this specific page.
