Assad's regime collapses, raising questions about Syria's future stability

Bashar al-Assad's regime has collapsed, leading to celebrations in Syria. Many prisoners have been released, and the Syrian army has weakened due to lack of support from Russia and Iran. This shift marks a significant change in the power dynamics in the region. The future of Syria remains uncertain. There are concerns about potential fragmentation into militia-controlled areas or a new civil war. The main rebel group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, faces challenges in uniting diverse communities and establishing a stable government. With Assad's departure, Iran and Russia's influence in Syria is diminished. This could alter the balance of power, affecting their support for groups like Hezbollah. The new leadership will need to seek assistance from moderate Arab nations and the West to rebuild the country.
