Part 3/7:
With the regime's collapse, Syria finds itself uncertain about its future governance. The main issues at play include whether the civil war is truly over and what shape the new government will take. HTS, despite being a dominant force, is not the only player in the region; various rebel factions with differing ideologies abound, which may lead to renewed tensions and instability.
In terms of governance, there are questions about the ideological direction that HTS will pursue. Having evolved from its al-Qaeda roots, HTS has presented a more moderate stance, focusing on governance. However, concerns linger about potential authoritarian rule, especially considering their past Islamist ideology.
