Syria after the Assad fall: Who will have the new power?

Damaskus, Syrien - In Syria, the political landscape is upside down! After the surprising fall of President Bashar al-Assad by the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the new tour in Damascus has declared the rapid reconstruction of the state to the goal. However, the HTS, under the leadership of Ahmed al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, has already attracted criticism by only installing confidants in key positions. This ensures concern about the future stability of the country, especially in view of the diversity of the Syrian society and the necessary integration of all ethnic groups in the new state structures, such as FR.DE

In addition to political uncertainty, there is also the question of the role of women under the new rule. Although the HTS in their power center Idlib shows a certain opening by allowing churches to exercise their religion and abolish clothing regulations for women, gender separation remains in educational institutions. The new rulers are required to secure social stability on the one hand and, on the other hand, to manage diplomatic relationships with the neighboring countries, especially Turkey, that wants to expand their zone of influence in northern Syria. These developments could be decisive for the future of Syria and plunge the country into new conflicts.
