Summary/Abstract: In just ten days, on December 8, 2024, in a sudden military offensive, the armed factions of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) under the leadership of Ahmed Al-Sharea managed to quickly and suddenly end the bloody chapter of the Syrian civil war from 2011 to 2024. Thus ended the dictatorship of the Al-Assad family in Syria after more than half a century. The current president, Bashar al-Assad, has been in power since 2000, after inheriting the dictatorial position from his father Hafez, he fled the capital and went into exile in Moscow. The brutal civil war began during the "Arab Spring", where the regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Libya were overthrown. The civil war in Syria was catastrophic: more than 300,000 dead, five million people expelled from their country (1.3 million in the EU and four million in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq), almost seven million internally displaced. The bloody Syrian war was marked by brutal stages, which became part of the history of human horror, such as Assad's use of chemical weapons against the civilian population, where tens of thousands of civilians died.
