Maher al-Assad Biography
Maher al-Assad is one of the most popular and richest Military Personnel who was born on December 8, 1967 in Damascus, Damascus Governorate, Syria.
Maher al-Assad (Arabic: ماهر الأسد , born 8 December 1967) is a Syrian general and commander of the Republican Guard and the army’s elite Fourth Armoured Division, which together with Syria’s secret police form the core of the country’s security forces. He is also a member of the Central Committee of the Ba’ath Party’s Syrian Regional Branch. He is thought by some to be the second most powerful man in Syria after his brother Bashar, the current President. Maher is described by analysts as preferring Iran (as opposed to Russia) to play the largest role as the Syrian Government’s main ally during the Syrian Civil War and subsequent post-war reconstruction. This is in contrast to the position of Suheil al-Hassan, head of the Division 25 Special Mission Forces, who was reported as preferring Russia.
After Basil’s death in 1994, Maher assumed command of a brigade in the Republican Guard. His time as brigade commander allowed him to gain valuable military experience and build personal ties with his officers. After the death of his father in 2000, he was promoted from major to lieutenant colonel. Maher subsequently became commander of the Republican Guard, a 10,000 strong unit whose loyalty is said to be guaranteed by the significant share of revenue that it receives from the oil fields in the Deir ez-Zor region, and the commander of the army’s elite Fourth Armored Division which was once his uncle Rifaat Assad’s Defense companies.
