The West rejects the upcoming Syrian election as a farce that will hurt diplomatic efforts to end the country’s civil war

A giant portrait of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the Sabaa Bahrat square, in Damascus, on May 3, 2021.Syria’s higher constitutional court on Monday selected two obscure figures to appear on ballots standing against President Bashar al-Assad in a May 26 election which the West rejects as a farce that will hurt diplomatic efforts to end the civil war.

Assad, who took power in 2000 on the death of his father who ruled for 30 years, has regained control of most of his country after 10 years of civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of Syrians and drove more than half the population from their homes.Damascus views the election, for what would be Assad’s fourth seven-year term, as the governing system functioning normally despite the war.

Assad has taken measures in recent months to ease public dissatisfaction fed by anger over eroding living conditions and a plunging currency, including raising state salaries, cracking down on currency speculators and bringing the official exchange rate closer into line with the black market.

“which the West rejects as a farce”Why is this stuff written like it’s the opinion of the *West* that Syrian “elections” under Assad are a farce. It’s an indisputably fact they are a farce.
