Transcript

00:00President Surya Basar al-Assad finally left the office after the opposition forces

00:05occupied a number of major cities, including Damascus.

00:08The collapse of the Assad family's power, which has lasted for more than 53 years,

00:14has been described as a historic moment.

00:17Surya was in the midst of a brotherly war for 14 years.

00:21President Basar al-Assad seized power with the help of Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah.

00:28However, as the escalation of regional conflicts involving Hezbollah and Iran increases,

00:34the Assad government weakens.

00:36What's more, Russia, which has long been its backbone,

00:40is also not finished with its war against Ukraine.

00:44Surya's opponents see an opportunity to break Assad's power.

00:49About six months ago, they delivered a major attack on Turkey

00:54and felt that they had secretly obtained an agreement.

00:59The two sources who knew the plan said.

01:02The fall of President Basar al-Assad's regime in Syria began with an uprising

01:07carried out by the Hayat Tahir al-Sham militia group, or HTS, at the end of last November.

01:15At that time, HTS suddenly attacked one of the cities

01:18ruled by the Syrian government since the end of the brotherly war in 2011, Aleppo.

01:24The attack eventually made Aleppo fall back into HTS' hands.

01:29In response to this attack, al-Assad promised to recapture Aleppo from HTS.

01:34He will also be assisted by a militia group from Iraq assisted by Iran,

01:38namely Badr and Nujabah.

01:41On November 1, 300 troops from the Badr and Nujabah militia group

01:46were reported to have gone to Syria via a long-distance route from the residents.

01:52This was done to avoid an air attack from the Syrian militia.

01:57However, four days after the Iraqi militia was reported to have gone to Syria,

02:01the situation returned to normal.

02:03On November 5, the HTS rebel group again attacked one of the important cities in Syria, Hama.

02:10HTS at that time also claimed that they had captured Hama Prison

02:14and released the prisoners who were there.

02:18In the afternoon, the Syrian army admitted the loss of control over the city located between Aleppo

02:24and the base of President Bashar al-Assad's power in the capital city of Damascus.

02:29Three days later, on November 8, the Syrian militia was reported to have managed to control the capital city of Damascus

02:36and overthrew the regime of the al-Assad authorities.

02:39Their success in controlling Damascus marks the end of the al-Assad regime

02:43decades of power in Syria.

02:47The Syrian militia has now also appointed former Prime Minister Muhammad Ghazi al-Jalali

02:53as the interim leader of the country after President Bashar al-Assad was overthrown.
