of uprisings that toppled regimes

In just ten days, on 8 December 2024, a surprise military offensive by the armed factions of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by Ahmed Al-Sharaa, brought a swift and unexpected end to the bloody chapter of the Syrian civil war, which had raged from 2011 to 2024. This marked the conclusion of the Al-Assad family’s dictatorship in Syria, which had lasted for more than half a century Bashar Al-Assad, who had ruled since 2000 after inheriting power from his father Hafez, fled the capital and sought exile in Moscow. The brutal conflict began during the “Arab Spring,”[2] a wave of uprisings that toppled regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, and Libya. The Syrian civil war left a devastating toll: over 300,000 people were killed, five million were forced to flee the country (1.3 million to the EU and four million to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq), and nearly seven million were internally displaced. The Syrian conflict was defined by harrowing episodes that became part of the history of human tragedies, such as Assad’s deployment of chemical weapons against civilians, claiming the lives of tens of thousands. สล็อต เว็บตรง
