• The Islamic militias of the Organization for the Liberation of the Levant (HTS) ended more than five decades of El Asad family dictatorship in Syria.
• The country's future and who and how it will be led, remains a mystery.
• There are fears that minorities may be oppressed under the new regime.
• Kurdish forces, allied with the US, have controlled a semi-autonomous area and their reintegration could anger Turkey.
• The future of Syria will also greatly depend on the role of foreign powers.
• Some countries have started contacts with the new leadership in Syria and are considering lifting sanctions imposed during the El Asad dictatorship.

Conclusion: The transition period in Syria is full of uncertainty and moves between hope and fear. It is crucial that the West pressures for an inclusive Syria that incorporates all minorities.
