Syria's new government takes charge as life in Damascus begins to normalize

Syria has a new provisional government following the fall of Bashar al-Assad, who ruled for 24 years. On December 10, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham appointed an interim prime minister just three days after Assad's departure. Government employees in the capital appear ready to follow the new leadership. The swift change in power has led to hopes for a peaceful transition among the Syrian population. As the situation evolves, many Syrians are searching for loved ones who may have been imprisoned under the previous regime. The future of governance in Syria remains uncertain.
