Syrian leaders discuss regime change and future stability on Face the Nation

Mouaz Moustafa, executive director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force, expressed joy over the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, stating it was a victory achieved by the Syrian people without outside support. He emphasized the importance of finding missing Americans, including journalist Austin Tice. Andrew Boyd, former CIA official, noted uncertainty about Assad's whereabouts but suggested it may not matter now that the regime has collapsed. He highlighted the need for the new opposition to treat all factions in Syria with respect to avoid further conflict. Moustafa discussed the coalition of rebel groups now in control, countering concerns about the designation of Abu Muhammad al-Jawlani as a terrorist. He claimed that conditions for civilians have improved under the new leadership, despite ongoing fears of Russian airstrikes.
