Syria's Ongoing Conflict: Key Players and Future Implications

The fall of the Assad regime in Syria marks the end of a 54-year dictatorship, with rebel forces Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) leading the charge. Despite the liberation of cities and political prisoners, the future remains uncertain due to the authoritarian nature of these rebel groups and the complex regional dynamics involving Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the U.S. The situation presents both challenges and opportunities for progressive forces to push for a democratic and inclusive Syria.
