Geo-politics of the Middle East: The New Syria – Implications for the Region and the World
After decades of brutal rule, the al-Assad's regime has been toppled. Following 13 years of devastating conflict, fighting, and civil war, the Bashar al Assad regime crumpled in few days. The dramatic fall of the regime ushers in a new era for Syria, the region, and the world. What are the implications of the emergence of the new Syria for the Syrian people, the Middle East, and Regional and Global balances of power?
