Syrian Rebel Alliance Consolidates Power After Assad's Fall

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) assumes control in Syria, raising concerns over inclusivity and the future of governance.

• The Assad regime collapsed after a swift rebel offensive led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), marking the end of 54 years of Assad family rule.
• Ahmad al-Sharaa, HTS leader, announced plans to dissolve Assad-era security forces and prisons, while promising accountability for human rights abuses.
• HTS has installed an interim government but faces criticism for excluding diverse Syrian factions and minority groups from decision-making processes.
• International actors, including the U.S., Turkey, and Jordan, are urging an inclusive political transition, with the United Nations emphasizing non-sectarian governance.
• Regional instability is heightened as armed factions remain active, and Israel continues military strikes to prevent weapons from falling into hostile hands.
