The regime of Bashar Al-Assad in Syria has collapsed, but the outlines of the rebel coalition that overthrew it are still unclear.
The most prominent militia is Hayat Tahrir Al-Cham (HTC), led by Ahmed Al-Charaa.
Syria's sovereignty is violated by neighbouring countries, particularly Turkey in the north and Israel in the south.
These countries may be tempted to short-term opportunities but disorder in Syria could easily trigger a resurgence of jihadism.
Countries including the United States, France, the European Union and the United Kingdom have started initiatives to play a role in Syria's future.
The benefits of stabilising Syria would include reconstruction and the return of Syrian refugees.
Conclusion: The stabilisation of Syria requires significant commitment from international powers to ensure long-term peace and the reconstruction of the nation.
