  • After 13 years of Syria's grinding civil war, the regime of President Bashar al-Assad is gone, the dictator fleeing his country in the face of a sensational advance by rebel forces.

The article from MSN discusses the current political and military situation in Syria following the significant decline in power of President Bashar al-Assad. It outlines how Assad's regime has been weakened by years of civil war, international sanctions, and the loss of territory to opposition forces and terrorist groups like ISIS. Key points include the fragmentation of Syria into various zones of control, with Assad's government holding less than half of the country, the involvement of foreign powers like Russia, Turkey, and Iran, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis with millions displaced. The article speculates on potential future scenarios for Syria, including a possible negotiated settlement, further fragmentation, or a resurgence of Assad's power with external support. It also touches on the implications for regional stability, the refugee crisis, and the potential for renewed conflict or peace processes.
