Syrians celebrate the fall of Bashar al Assad as opposition forces gain control

Syrians are celebrating the fall of Bashar al Assad after a swift victory by Sunni Islamist-led opposition forces. This marks a significant shift in power after years of Assad's rule, which was characterized by sectarian tensions and civil war. Despite the celebrations, Syria faces a chaotic future. Neighboring countries, including Israel and Turkey, have interests that may prevent stability. Iran's influence remains through its support for groups like Hezbollah, complicating the situation further. The opposition, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, aims to establish a transitional administration. However, achieving unity and stability in a country divided by sectarian lines and external pressures will be challenging.
