[English] Syria’s Turning Point: The Fall of Assad and a Risky New Future 🌍

The year 2024 ended with a seismic shift in West Asia as armed rebels overthrew Syrian President Bashar al-Assad after 13 years of civil war. Assad fled to Russia, marking the end of a 24-year dictatorship and the fall of the Assad dynasty after more than half a century.

🎧 In this episode, we’ll discuss:

Winners and losers: How Assad’s fall is a strategic defeat for Russia, Iran, and the Gulf states, while Turkey emerges as a major winner.

Global fears: With links to al-Qaida and ISIS, can the rebel leadership be trusted? What happens to Syria’s secret weapons stockpiles?

Western intervention: Why the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes within hours of Damascus falling.

What’s next for Syria? Will the power vacuum lead to more chaos, or is there hope for a stable government?

This is a defining moment for Syria, filled with both opportunity and danger. Will peace or peril prevail?
