CHAPTER

Shifting Powers and Complex Alliances in Syria

This chapter investigates the unexpected fall of Assad and the power dynamics in Syria, particularly focusing on the rise of former Al-Qaeda affiliates in Idlib amid a withdrawal of support for Assad. It critiques the media narratives surrounding various factions, questioning the simplicity of labeling them as 'good' or 'bad.' Central to the discussion are personal experiences, historical context, and the implications of U.S. foreign policy on the evolving conflict.
