Syrian here. Unfortunately most Syrians are celebrating. There is an immense mountain of propaganda in Arabic, more so than English speaking ones.

Rojava served their US-requested role of suffocating Syria and paving the way for the fall of Assad regime and victory of HTS. Rojava’s role was to hold the longest frontline with the fallen regime’s forces, be a host for US military bases and a launchpad for US attacks on Syrian gov forces, and most importantly hoard Syria’s most viral resources such as oil, wheat and drinking water (which also yields electric power).
When HTS launched their offensive, Rojava attacked Syrian government forces in Deir Ezzor, only to retreat a week later and hand it over to HTS.
Watch my words, the US will abandon Rojava in 2025 now that their job is done, and you will see that they were nothing but useful idiots for the empire.
He is very unlikely to return. There’s immense propaganda against him, most of his supporters in Syria are already denouncing him. Russia has reportedly asked him to completely disappear from public eyes, as they want to normalize with new regime and maintain their naval base in Syria. He has no chance to defend himself politically or make a comeback if this is true.
The propaganda has been extremely fierce and many people are falling for it. I unfortunately doubt this.
Plus, Russia is reportedly asking Assad to completely disappear from the eyes of the public, in hopes he can be forgotten and they can normalize with the new regime and keep their base in Syria. If this is true, Assad has no chance of a comeback.
Iran is unfortunately not painting the right picture.
Most of Iran’s military help withdrew from Syria months before this happened, especially after the large attacks by Israel against Iran in Syria, like the embassy attack.
Although I don’t have confirmation or evidence, but I rly doubt Assad would refuse Iran help. I could believe that he maybe didn’t request it though, but still unsure.
Pezeshkian has been aiming for normalizing and de-escalation with the West, and we’re seeing the effects of that.
It is true that Assad was also seeking to normalize with Arab states such as UAE and Saudi in attempt to break the suffocating sanctions. This may have made Iran more weary of support, but ultimately they were doing the same thing.
Unfortunately, as a Syrian vehemently against what is happening, most Syrians are celebrating.
Some of them are Syrians I spoke to a week before the regime fell and they held a position similar to mine.
I suppose for some it is fear of persecution from new regime, or a cope given that we’ve reached a point of no return. But it still terrifies me. Have we accepted Al-Qaeda rule of our country?
You know you’re white your country has an official Twitter account for drama posting.
They chickened out and didn’t carry through… For now
Unfortunately, it is likely they got him. Israel seems to have compromised hezbollah’s communication channel, already managed to assassinate much of the 1st and 2nd command. They are infiltrated.
Hezbollah isn’t even firing back anymore. This is like the 6 day war all over again. Israel has gone completely rogue
Not exactly forced, but there are people (often in camouflage uniform) in the streets calling (sometimes on megaphone) for women to cover their heads, and calling for men and women to stand separately in separate spaces rather than mix. Sometimes they give out scarves while asking them to cover their hair. However I haven’t seen or heard of any violence or forcing on this matter (though Idk if anyone tried to disobey either).
This is likely individuals doing it and not a state policy thing yet.
