Syria Faces Uncertainty After Assad's Fall as Rebels Take Control

The collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime has triggered regional diplomacy, humanitarian challenges, and debates over Syria's future leadership and stability.

  • Rebel group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has seized control of Syria, forcing Bashar al-Assad to flee to Russia after years of civil war and international isolation.
  • A crisis summit in Jordan has brought together regional and global leaders to discuss Syria's reconstruction and the establishment of an inclusive transitional government.
  • Russia, facing resource constraints and strategic priorities elsewhere, notably refrained from fully supporting Assad's regime during its final days, signaling a shift in its Middle East strategy.
  • The fall of Assad's government has led to the release of countless political prisoners, with families searching hospitals and former prisons for missing loved ones amid reports of severe trauma and torture.
  • The international community, including the EU and UN, is mobilizing humanitarian aid for Syrians, while debates intensify in countries like Germany about the potential return of Syrian refugees.
