Map reveals rapid collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria as opposition forces advance
A new map shows the rapid collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, which fell within days as opposition forces launched a major offensive. Just last week, Assad appeared to maintain control in Damascus. On November 27, opposition troops began a swift attack from Idlib province, overwhelming government forces. They captured Aleppo city and advanced south toward Hama, while protests erupted in Homs and Damascus. The uprising stems from years of authoritarian rule under Assad. Despite the regime's allies, including Russia and Iran, not intervening, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed hope for Syria's future peace.
