DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIAOn November 27, clashes intensified between regime-opposing armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups gained dominance in the largest cities such as Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs between November 30 and December 7. As the groups began to enter the capital Damascus on December 7, with support from the masses, the regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions, leading to its collapse. The 61-year rule of the Baath Party came to an end, and regime leader Assad fled the capital. On the other hand, the Syrian National Army had liberated the center of the Tel Rifaat district from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG on the first day of the Operation Dawn of Freedom launched in December. With the liberation of the Manbij district, the area, which had turned into the largest terrorist nest west of the Euphrates River, was cleared of PKK/YPG.
