After years of stagnation, Syria's civil war suddenly reignited in Nov. 2024 to truly spectacular geopolitical change. In less than a few weeks, the Syrian government, which had weathered 13 years of civil war, collapsed, in a remarkably fast and orderly transition. Now, shorn of the Assad family for the first time in fifty years, Syria is charting new, uncertain courses, many of which are fraught with the risk of another round of fighting. In this episode of Essential Geopolitics, RANE's Senior Middle East and North Africa Analyst Ryan Bohl lays out likely future scenarios for the country and provides insight into the associated risks.
