Part 6/9:
The situation presents a double-edged sword. Although the collapse of one regime creates the prospect for change, it raises concerns regarding the fragmentation of power among various factions. The current instabilities could lead to a scenario where, rather than achieving a peaceable resolution, Syria devolves into infighting among competing armed groups—potentially resembling the early tumultuous phases of the civil war.
A paramount concern is that the new power structures, emerging from the ashes of Assad's rule, might simply lead to a perpetuated cycle of violence. The presence of multiple factions engaging in power struggles raises questions about long-term stability and governance in a post-Assad Syria.
