Syria faces uncertain future after fall of Assad's regime

independent.co.uk

Syria faces a new political landscape after the fall of President Bashar Assad, ending 50 years of his family's rule. The insurgency, led by Ahmad al-Sharaa, aims to establish a pluralistic governance system, but multiple factions and foreign interests complicate the situation. Rebel leaders are discussing a transitional government, with plans to appoint Mohammed Al-Bashir to lead. However, public sector workers have not returned to their jobs, causing disruptions. The previous political framework is now considered irrelevant, as the regime has collapsed. Tensions remain among various groups, including the Kurds and Sunni insurgents. While the insurgents have reassured minorities, internal divisions could threaten stability. Recent clashes in northern Syria highlight ongoing ethnic tensions, raising concerns about future violence.
