NEW GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON ANNOUNCEDAccording to a breaking news report from AFP, Syria's new government announced that it will suspend the constitution and parliament for 3 months. The spokesperson for Syria's new government stated that the country's constitution and parliament would be suspended during the 3-month transition period following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. "A JUDICIARY AND HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE WILL BE ESTABLISHED"The spokesperson said, "A judiciary and human rights committee will be established to review the constitution and then propose amendments." DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIAOn November 27, clashes intensified between regime-opposing armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups had 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 Ba'ath Party came to an end, and regime leader Assad fled the capital. Meanwhile, the Syrian National Army had also liberated the center of Tel Rifaat from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG on the first day of the Operation Dawn of Freedom, which was launched in December. With the liberation of the district of Manbij during the operation, the region, which had turned into the largest terrorist stronghold west of the Euphrates River, was cleared of PKK/YPG.
