Why is it difficult for the rebels to run the country even after capturing Syria?

There is a rebellion in Syria. President Bashar al-Assad has fled the country to Russia. But how did all this happen? Who is responsible for this and why was Bashar al-Assad forced to leave the country? It is important to know all this. In fact, in 2011, Syrian citizens demonstrated to demand the removal of President Bashar al-Assad from power. But then Assad responded brutally. This led to a civil war, in which more than 5 lakh people lost their lives. 13 years later, on December 8, Assad fled the country and opposition fighters took power.

The story changed from 27th November

For nearly eight years, the Syrian civil war has been in a stalemate, with Assad’s government ruling the largest part of the country with support from Russia and Iran, while various opposition groups maintain control of areas in the north.

Captured the second largest city Aleppo, Hama, Homs and finally the capital Damascus

The story changed on November 27 when Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Islamist group that has ruled Idlib province for the past five years, captured 13 villages. Within days they captured Syria’s second largest city, Aleppo, Hama, Homs and finally the capital, Damascus.

So how did HTS succeed?

This success of HTS is being linked to the decreasing presence of Iran and Russia in Syria. In fact, while Iran is embroiled in a war with Israel, Russia has also been embroiled in a war with Ukraine for a long time. In such a situation, he does not pay much attention to the situation in Syria. Experts have compared the capture of Damascus to the fall of the Afghan government, because here too the army surrendered without any struggle.

Why did the army surrender?

People who follow Syria closely say the army surrendered due to widespread corruption and exhaustion from a long civil war. HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Julani said in a recent interview that this success was due to his fighters being trained to operate professionally.
