Syria's New Leadership Authority Struggle: A Year Since Assad's Ouster
Syria's new leadership continues to face a significant authority struggle over a year after Bashar al-Assad was toppled in December 2024.
The regime fell, but the clock has stopped. Since toppling Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, Syria's new leadership has struggled to assert full authority over a nation scarred by decades of conflict. The transition from revolutionary forces to a functional government is proving to be a monumental challenge.
Internal Conflicts in Syria's New Leadership Authority Struggle
According to reports from Reuters, the new administrative bodies in Damascus are facing fierce resistance from localized armed groups who refuse to cede control. While the central government claims sovereignty, their practical reach doesn't extend much further than the major urban corridors, leaving large swathes of the country in a state of political limbo.
The humanitarian toll remains devastating. International organizations, including the UN, have noted that basic infrastructure for water and electricity hasn't been restored in many regions. The leadership's inability to provide these essentials has led to growing public discontent, threatening the very stability they sought to achieve after the 2024 uprising.
