Syria now has a new force in power: HTS and its leadership, spearheaded by the militant leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani. They will face immediate challenges and four key priorities.
The removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a serious setback to both Moscow and Tehran. Russia’s Eurasian dream and Iran’s grand strategy to create a 'Shia Crescent' have been thwarted.
IAF had confirmed the incident in September via an X post. The 7-second video is being circulated with the claim that Bashar al-Assad was onboard when it crashed near Homs, Syria.
Taken by bus to Lebanon, evacuees include 44 ‘zaireen’ from J&K. MEA had said last week that there were about 90 Indian nationals in Syria, apart from some working with the UN.
The West wrongly thinks that China’s influence in the Middle East is limited, as seen in the ousting of Assad and China’s inability to resolve the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Even though Tahrir al-Sham has promised to protect minorities, and to crush transnational jihadist groups in Syria, exactly what comes next is impossible to predict.
In FY 2025-26, AoN for 55 proposals amounting to Rs 6.73 lakh cr has been accorded by DAC. Both the quantum of AoN given and capital contracts signed, so far, have been the highest in any FY.
Hopefully it will be possible for millions of Syrian refugees to return home, rebuild their lives.
