The Syrian government appeared to have fallen early Sunday in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family after a lightning rebel offensive.

    They [HTS & some others] have promised to dismantle and work towards a government ruled by the people, but even if they don’t deliver on that, it would still be much better than the Ba’thist rule in nearly every aspect.

    HTS is not the only group there. The FSA [supported by the US], HTS [Supported by Turkey], and repels from Dar’a [Who somehow survived and were the first to reach Rif Dimashq] are all in Damascus right now. So I guess negotiations are necessary? I am hoping for the best, not sure we’re getting that though.
