Supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad hold up his pictures during a rally supporting him and the army in Damascus in this February 19, 2014 file photograph. After three years of grinding conflict, the destruction of whole neighbourhoods and an exodus of refugees triggered by an uprising against his rule, Bashar al-Assad is quietly preparing to be re-elected. Demonstrators waving portraits of Assad and flags adorned with his face are once again on the streets, albeit in smaller numbers than the many thousands who rallied in 2011 when authorities were trying to counter the mass anti-Assad protests sweeping the country.

After three years of grinding conflict, the destruction of whole neighbourhoods and an exodus of refugees triggered by an uprising against his rule, Bashar al-Assad is quietly preparing to be re-elected. Public gatherings have become platforms to urge the president to nominate himself, despite a continuing civil war that has killed more than 140,000 people, fractured the country and destroyed any chance of a credible vote being held.
