Who are Syrian opposition fighters overthrew Assad's regime and what comes next?

The article from MSN discusses the Syrian opposition fighters who have been attempting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad's regime since the civil war began in 2011. These fighters are a diverse group, ranging from moderate rebels, who initially sought democratic reforms, to more radical Islamist groups like Jabhat al-Nusra (now Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) and ISIS. Over the years, the opposition has fragmented due to differing ideologies, external influences, and the harsh realities of prolonged conflict. Key points include the initial uprising against Assad's authoritarian rule, the subsequent militarization of the opposition, the involvement of foreign powers like Turkey, Russia, Iran, and the U.S., and the current state where Assad, with Russian and Iranian support, has regained control over much of Syria. The article also touches on the future prospects, suggesting that while Assad's regime has been significantly weakened, the opposition remains divided and weakened, with ongoing challenges in negotiating peace or achieving a political transition. The complexity of the situation leaves the future of Syria uncertain, with possibilities ranging from a frozen conflict to potential new rounds of fighting or a negotiated settlement.
