Erdogan shifts focus to Kurdish forces as Syria's regime weakens

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is shifting focus as the Syrian regime collapses. He aims to weaken the Kurdish forces, particularly the Syrian Democratic Forces, which have been supported by the U.S. in the fight against Islamic State. Erdogan has long sought to limit the influence of the Kurdish minority in Syria. With the regime's fall, he may present new demands to the incoming U.S. administration regarding military support and security arrangements in the region. The situation in Syria remains unstable, with new leaders emerging and the potential for conflict over control. The future governance of Syria is uncertain as the country navigates this transition.
