It seems that what the members of the governing gang in Syria are achieving from privileges under the auspices of "Assad's Syria" by the orders of security services, appear when they believe their lies, rush to reincarnate the role and fall prey to what they have believed, and this is what has recently happened to the son of Bashar al-Assad "Hafez".
Syrian regime's page on Facebook "Presidency of the Syrian Arab Republic" said on Saturday that the Syrian Mathematics Olympic team has won three bronze medals, but "Hafez al-Assad" didn't get any of them.
The page also said: "Despite what Syria is experiencing, our team is competing more than 600 students around the world in the International Scientific Olympiad on Mathematics. The Syrian team has got the highest average of degrees since its participation in 2009, and raised the rank of Syria for the first time to reach 48 worldwide among 109 participating counties through receiving for the first time prizes for the whole team".
The page added: "Muhammed Hanini (Bronze Medal), Mark Jabour (Bronze Medal), Ghaith al-Zehaili (Bronze Medal), Hafez al-Assad (a Certificate of Appreciation), Ahmed Mehrez (a Certificate of Appreciation), Jilnar Shahoud (a Certificate of Appreciation).
The page also attached a picture of the participating team, three of them wearing their medals, while Hafez al-Assad without anything in his neck or even a Certificate of Appreciation in his hands, as the page has mentioned.
In this context, Lebanese media reported a selfie for Hafez taken by himself with his mates wearing their medals so as to hide his disappointment by riding on the successes of others just like his father and Makhlouf's family, according to some tweets.
Some activists shared the picture on the social networking sites calling for presenting the certificate If the page's claims were true, noting that there is no such a certificate in the history of the Olympiad, but that is only possible when it comes to "Hafez al-Assad. They have also confirmed that it's a lie to save face after they have forcibly put him in the team, as the case in his father and grandfather's governance.
Some others mocked such certificate, pointing out that he who gets the seventh place under the auspices of his father, so will fail without his support. Another commented as saying: "Like Father, Like Son".
One of the matters tackled in the comments is fearing about the rest of the team who have received medals, as they will form an inferiority complex on the "Future Leader" of the regime, whose father may resort to putting their families aside, assassinating or throwing them in prisons, as what happened with many of the winners. The situation is grave, especially after they have publicly excelled the grandson of the "Mortal leader and the son of the resolute leader", which means that they are a real problem and a shame that is pursuing al-Assad, the grandson, and preventing him from achieving the first place ever and forever.
