December 8th, 2024: A Full-Fledged Popular Revolution in Syria

Mehmet Emin Cengiz | 12 December 2024 | AR

The tyranny of the Baath Party that seized power in the country in 1963 later turned into the Assad clan’s dynasty in 1970 through an intra-party coup Hafez Assad called the 'Corrective Movement,' was consigned to history with a popular revolution on December 8th, 2024, after only a 12-day-long military operation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the dizzying developments have far exceeded expectations even for seasoned Syria experts following the crisis for many years.
