Deep dives
The Fall of Assad's Regime
Bashar al-Assad's long-standing authoritarian rule in Syria came to an abrupt end after more than 50 years of his family's dictatorship. The dramatic change followed an 11-day offensive by the rebel group Hayat Tahrir Hashem, which led to Assad fleeing to Moscow. The fall of the regime prompted celebrations among displaced Syrians globally, particularly in Turkey and Greece. The U.S. responded with military action aimed at stabilizing the country and emphasized the need for opposition groups to engage in governance and uphold the rights of all Syrians.
