End of an era: Assad regime fallen in Syria-what's coming now?

Damaskus, Syrien - On December 8, 2024, the 24-year rule of Bashar al-Assad in Syria came to an end. Syrian rebels explained in a television program that the Assad regime was overthrown. These dramatic events have attracted great attention worldwide. The incumbent US President Joe Biden said that his team carefully follows the situation in Syria and remains in contact with regional partners. The reaction of Donald Trump, the future US President who uses Assad's dismissal, is particularly striking to urge Russia to end the war in Ukraine. Trump commented on his Truth Social platform that Russia is no longer interested in Syria and asked Wladimir Putin to act now. He believes that China can contribute to solving the Ukraine conflict and the world is waiting for Putin's decisions.
