Title Collapse: Discussion on MWI Podcast About the Fall of the Assad Regime
Transforming Tyranny: The Fall of Bashar al-Assad and Syria's Future
Hunkered down for over a decade, even Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad couldn't defy the endless brawl of the Syrian civil war - a tumultuous battleground filled with rebel factions, regional powers, and international players. Some, like Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah, propped up Assad's forces. Others aided the rebels. With the battlefield dynamics drawn and re-drawn, Assad, the despot with an iron grip, slyly maneuvered his way through it all... until he didn't.
One cold December, a blistering, lightning offensive rocked the nation. Rebel forces, led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and backed by the Turkish-supported Syrian National Army, surged forward, seizing city after city. Damascus, the capital, crumbled, and the age-old rule of Assad's family came to its bloody end.
Entering this epoch is Natasha Hall, a Middle East expert, senior fellow with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. On this episode of MWI Podcast, she and host John Amble delve into the dynamics that dislodged Assad and peek at what the future may hold for Syria.
