Syrian rebels oust Bashar al-Assad ending over 50 years of family rule

Syrian rebels have successfully ousted Bashar al-Assad, ending over 50 years of his family's rule. This rapid change has sparked celebrations among some Syrians, while others face uncertainty about the future amid ongoing divisions and challenges within the country. The offensive, led by Abu Mohammad al-Golani, marks a significant shift in Syria's political landscape. Assad's allies, Iran and Russia, are now reassessing their positions as the rebels gain control. However, the country remains deeply fragmented and in need of rebuilding. Despite the fall of Assad, the path to stability is unclear. The new leadership, particularly Golani, faces the task of uniting a war-torn nation while addressing concerns about the influence of extremist factions.
