About our Syria War news

Latest news on war in Syria, providing coverage of Assad regime's fall, rebel advances, Russian involvement, humanitarian crisis, regional implications and peace efforts shaping the conflict.

After nearly 13 years of devastating civil war that has claimed over 580,000 lives and displaced millions, Syria faces a historic transition following the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime on 8 December 2024. Assad has fled to Moscow after rebels captured Damascus, marking the end of his family's 53-year rule over the country.

The recent dramatic developments saw opposition forces, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and other rebel groups, launch successful offensives that captured major cities including Aleppo, Homs, and ultimately Damascus. Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi al-Jalali now leads a caretaker government as the country works toward establishing a transitional administration. Meanwhile, Israel has moved to secure areas near the Golan Heights, and foreign powers are closely monitoring the situation.

The humanitarian situation remains critical, with over 6.7 million internally displaced people and another 6.6 million refugees abroad. International aid organizations are working to provide essential support to civilians affected by the conflict, while facing significant challenges in accessing vulnerable populations. The devastation of infrastructure and basic services continues to impact millions of Syrians, with over 90% of the population living in poverty.

The Syrian conflict began in 2011 as peaceful protests against Assad's authoritarian rule before escalating into a complex civil war involving multiple domestic factions and international powers. The war has been marked by widespread human rights violations, the use of chemical weapons, and the rise and fall of ISIS, while drawing in regional and global powers including Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the United States.
