Part 5/6:
The situation in Homs is reminiscent of the early days of the Syrian uprising in 2011, where local armed groups took a stand against the Assad regime. Recent developments, such as the toppling of a statue of Hafez al-Assad, Bashar's father, signal a powerful rejection of a regime that has long been associated with repression and violence.
As the conflict progresses, the Assad regime finds itself increasingly isolated and powerless against the rebel advances. The changing tides may represent a tipping point, potentially reshaping not just the local landscape but influencing the broader dynamics of the Syrian war.
