On December 8, 2024, Assad’s government was toppled by a rebel coalition led by the Sunni Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), upending Syria’s long-standing sectarian power dynamics. Since then, Syria has been undergoing a fragile state of transition hampered by human rights abuses against ethnic and religious minorities that threaten its efforts towards stability.
