Here is who is vying for power in Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. -in-syria-after-the-fall-of-bashar-al-assad.html
Published in Politics and Government on by Fox News   Print publication without navigation

The fall of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, the culmination of years of civil war, has given way to a power vacuum with different factions protecting their own interests - and vying for power in the Middle Eastern nation.

The article from Fox News discusses the power dynamics in Syria following the potential fall of President Bashar al-Assad. It outlines several key players vying for control or influence in the region:

  • Rebel Groups: Various factions, including the Free Syrian Army, Islamist groups like Ahrar al-Sham, and more radical elements like al-Nusra Front (an al-Qaeda affiliate), are fighting against Assad's regime. These groups have different ideologies and goals, ranging from establishing a democratic state to implementing strict Islamic law.

  • Kurdish Forces: The Kurdish YPG (People's Protection Units) and its political wing, the PYD, have carved out autonomous regions in northern Syria. They are focused on self-governance and have been key U.S. allies in the fight against ISIS, though their ambitions for autonomy are a point of contention with Turkey.

  • Turkey: Concerned about Kurdish autonomy and the presence of groups like the YPG, Turkey has intervened militarily in northern Syria to prevent the establishment of a Kurdish state along its border, supporting some rebel factions while also conducting operations against Kurdish forces.

  • Russia: A staunch ally of Assad, Russia has military bases in Syria and has been instrumental in supporting Assad's regime through airstrikes and diplomatic efforts, aiming to maintain its influence in the Middle East.

  • Iran: Also backing Assad, Iran has provided military support, including fighters from Hezbollah, to help Assad maintain power, seeing Syria as a crucial ally in its regional strategy against U.S. and Israeli influence.

  • The United States: While initially supporting the rebels, U.S. policy has shifted towards combating ISIS, supporting the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces, largely Kurdish-led), and seeking a political solution that might not necessarily involve Assad's immediate removal but rather a transition to a more inclusive government.

  • ISIS: Although significantly weakened, ISIS still holds some territory and continues to pose a threat through insurgent activities, aiming to re-establish its caliphate.

    The article suggests that the fall of Assad would not lead to a straightforward power transition but rather a complex struggle among these various groups, each with its own vision for Syria's future.
