The event leaves many questions. Assad was a client of Russia and Iran.. but some of the rebel forces atre hard line Islamists..
Of course, the resistance is no single, monolithic group.. The group includes moderate Muslims, Kurds ..some kurds are Christians, and Druze,
The Druze from what I understand, are a religion containing some Muslim, Jewish and Christian elements...similar to the historical
Samaritans, it seems. Do, i suspect there will be some "jockeying for position" among these forces.
I wonder where Bashier al-Assad went ? Wherever he went, we can rest assured he likely took billions of "fotreign aid' money with him !

Government pocketed half of donations in 2020 as central bank forced UN agencies to use lower exchange rat
The Syrian government is siphoning off millions of dollars of foreign aid by forcing UN agencies to use a lower exchange rate, according to new research.
The Central Bank of Syria, which is sanctioned by the UK, US and EU, in effect made $60m (£44m) in 2020 by pocketing $0.51 of every aid dollar sent to Syria, making UN contracts one of the biggest money-making avenues for President Bashar al-Assad and his government, researchers from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the Operations & Policy Center thinktank and the Center for Operational Analysis and Research found.
