Syria Faces Its Past and Its Future
Briefly

The Assad family had dominated Syria for half a century, culminating in a dozen years of civil war, leading to immense human suffering and displacement.
The city of Damascus lay in ruins, with neighborhoods razed and the city center appearing worn, reflecting the devastating impact of the years of conflict.
As we reported, while the brutality of Assad's regime was evident, the true scale of human loss became apparent only after the war concluded.
Six hundred and twenty thousand fatalities and over fourteen million displaced serve as a haunting reminder of the civil war's devastating human cost.
