    About our Syria News

    Latest news on Syria, covering the fall of Assad's regime, political transition, humanitarian situation, regional reactions, and developments in the post-Assad era.

    Syria, a country of 25 million people in Western Asia, has entered a new chapter in its history following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime on 8 December 2024. The fall of Damascus to opposition forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham marked the end of the Assad family's 53-year rule, resulting in Assad's flight to Russia and ushering in a period of significant political transition.

    The country is currently undergoing rapid changes as former Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali leads a caretaker government until a full political transition can be completed. Opposition forces have taken control of major cities including Damascus, Aleppo, and Homs, while Israel has moved to occupy the buffer zone near the Golan Heights. International reactions have varied, with Western nations welcoming Assad's departure while regional powers call for stability and unity.

    Despite the dramatic political changes, Syria continues to face significant humanitarian challenges. More than 90% of the population lives below the poverty line, and millions remain displaced both internally and in neighbouring countries. Local communities are cautiously optimistic about the future, with celebrations reported in various cities following Assad's departure, though concerns about stability and security remain paramount.

    Syria's recent history has been dominated by the civil war that began with pro-democracy protests in 2011, leading to a conflict that has claimed over 600,000 lives. The Assad regime, which came to power in 1971 under Hafez al-Assad and continued under his son Bashar after 2000, maintained control through a combination of military force, political repression, and support from allies including Russia and Iran. The regime's collapse came amid weakening support from these traditional allies and growing economic challenges.

    Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of Syria's rapidly evolving situation, drawing from reliable sources to keep you informed about political developments, humanitarian conditions, and regional implications. As Syria enters this critical transition period, staying updated on the latest developments is essential for understanding the future of this strategically important nation and its impact on Middle Eastern stability.
