Syrian Dictator Bashar al-Assad's Instagram Account Makes Him Look Like Mother Teresa
Tech1 min read

What do you know about Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad?

He's a dictator.

His government has condoned the kidnapping, raping, torturing and killing of the Syrian people.

He has allegedly ordered chemical attacks on his citizens.

He and his wife love children, and food kitchens, and comforting the wounded!

Wait, you didn't know that last one? Well, let me direct you to Bashar al-Assad's Instagram feed where you can feast your eyes on images of he and his wife, Asma, showing the world just how sweet they can be.

Currently, more than 40,000 people follow the account, though by no means is the majority duped into taking all Assad's photos at face value.
