Assad leaves behind a fragmented nation – stabilizing it will be a major challenge for fractured opposition and external backers

Opposition forces marched into Damascus on Dec. 8, seemingly ending the half-century rule of the Assad family. But what happens next?

^{The Conversation}

"The Syrian example shows that #Russia can be kicked out and will go home. The Baltics were right – the West is strong enough to win. We don't need to fear "the Bear" in #Ukraine or anywhere else he is causing chaos."

What happens to women and girls in conflict must be exposed

It doesn’t matter if perpetrators call themselves 'freedom fighters"

Every time women and girls are carted off like property, my heart breaks—because we know the horrors that await them

R*pe and sex slavery must be universally condemned, not just with words but with severe and uncompromising penalties worldwide
