The OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism concluded in October 2017 that Assad's government was responsible for the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack. In December 2013, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay stated that findings from an inquiry by the United Nations implicated Assad in war crimes. Once seen by many states as a potential reformer, the United States, the European Union, and the majority of the Arab League called for Assad's resignation from the presidency in 2011 after he ordered a violent crackdown on Arab Spring protesters, which led to the Syrian civil war. The Assad government describes itself as secular, while some political scientists write that his regime exploits sectarian tensions in the country. Throughout his leadership, human rights groups have characterized Syria's human rights situation as poor. Assad was re-elected in 2021 with over 95% of the vote in another non-democratic national election. The election was held only in areas controlled by the Syrian government during the country's ongoing civil war and was criticised by the UN. On 16 July 2014, Assad was sworn in for another seven-year term after another election gave him 88.7% of the vote. In the uncontested 20 elections, he received 97.29% and 97.6% support, respectively.

On 17 July 2000, Assad became president, succeeding his father, who died in office on 10 June 2000. Political scientists have characterised the Assad family's rule of Syria as a personalist dictatorship. He entered the military academy, taking charge of the Syrian military presence in Lebanon in 1998. In 1994, after his elder brother Bassel died in a car accident, Bashar was recalled to Syria to take over Bassel's role as heir apparent. Four years later, he attended postgraduate studies at the Western Eye Hospital in London, specialising in ophthalmology. Born and raised in Damascus, Bashar al-Assad graduated from the medical school of Damascus University in 1988 and began to work as a doctor in the Syrian Army. His father, Hafez al-Assad, was the president of Syria before him, serving from 1971 to 2000. In addition, he is the commander-in-chief of the Syrian Armed Forces and the Secretary-General of the Central Command of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party.

I could go on & on, you might want to look at the Park Tool website. I'd keep chains in stock along with cassettes & freewheels. This is controversial, but motorized bikes are gonna eat chains anyway. You could get some bottom bracket tools, a couple should suffice, but you could put that off for awhile.ДЄ chain tool. Just get some good spoke (nipple) wrenches. I wouldn't invest in a truing stand at first. I would buy a cable & cable housing cutter, I have a Pedros tool that does both. You've got to stock up on cassette & freewheel removal tools. You don't need a pedal tool for any cruiser I've ever seen. The rest of your wrench needs will be in your Craftsman tool kit, along with the 4, 5 & 6mm hex heads (allen wrenches). Some headset wrenches wouldn't hurt, they are also thin & flat. Mainly cruisers, right? You know you need a few cone wrenches (thin open end). If you have other suggestions that won't break the bank, let me know!Д«ased on what you said, I'd avoid a tool kit & order specifically for your needs. I just want to know which one has a better reputation and will hold up better. I'm debating between a spin doctor tool kit, a nashbar tool kit, or super B. I did the search and didn't find what I was looking for on the forum, so here I am. I was looking at a couple tool kits for starters, and I'm getting a craftsman automotive tool kit I've wanted for a long time to help out. Right now I don't have a whole lot of funds to get it going and I don't want to take out a small business loan. I don't want to spend a fortune on tools, even though I can write them off as a business expense, I don't have that kind of cash flow for something that I'm not sure will completely take off. I want to start a very small bicycle business out of my home for starters. Ok, I live in a city that doesn't have a bicycle shop and I only see bicycles around once in a while.
