What does Bashar al-Assad’s fall mean for Syria and the region?

Al Jazeera  

What’s next for Syria? Middle East experts and a former US diplomat join Marc Lamont Hill to unpack the fall of al-Assad. After more than 50 years of the al-Assad’s family reign over Syria, opposition forces, led by Ahmad al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Julani, launched a swift and unexpected offensive that overthrew President Bashar al-Assad. While al-Assad fled to Russia and has been granted asylum, Syria’s future hangs in the balance. This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks to former Arabic-language spokesperson for the US State Department Hala Rharrit; founding director of the Middle East and Islamic Studies Program at George Mason University Bassam Haddad; senior fellow at the CATO Institute Mustafa Akyol; and Middle East expert at the Russian International Affairs Council Alexey Khlebnikov.
