The Transformation of Syria's Political Landscape
Recent changes in Syria have caused a significant transformation in its political landscape, particularly with the collapse of the Assad regime. Various international actors, including Turkey and Iran, have played varying roles, but this sudden vacuum has prompted a surge of diplomatic activity from neighboring countries. The group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), previously designated as a terrorist organization, is increasingly taking control of the situation, leading to a chaotic yet swift political transition in Damascus. This evolving dynamic raises questions about the future governance of Syria and the potential for stability or renewed conflict.
