‘Very survival of Syrian regime at stake’: HTS closing in on Homs, Assad regime’s ‘protected area’
Syrian rebel forces advanced on the central city of Homs and Kurdish fighters seized effective control of the eastern desert, jolting President Bashar al-Assad’s grip on power and triggering local revolts against his rule in the south. As rebel advances tear at Assad’s control, while Iran races to send support, FRANCE 24’s Gavin Lee is joined by Aghiad Ghanem, Author, Academic Advisor and Lecturer on Syria and International Relations at SciencesPo.

Loose ground to rebels? Really?
I am from Homs and it feels so surreal that it is even possible to come this close to his falling.. i cant imagine that we would be able to come back!!!!
you cant comprehend the brutality we have seen from this rotten regime
Please God have mercy on the Syrian Christians.We beg you.
Pislam is not a religion it is a political ideology disguised as a religion.
C’mon Homs is not close to Damascus. At least 150 km if not more
It’s done they taken the main city lol😂 that’s a 3 day special military
Alo,read you may learn something about the region and Turks since these areas were Turkish since 878 AD. Tolunihlu, Memluks, Seljuks, Ottoman Empire are just a few of the Turkish empires.
Revolution is one thing. Forming a cohesive government that can actually function properly and provide basic needs to the people of Syria including safety, infrastructure, laws, education, food, water etc is something entirely different. Ask Libya.
Its easy to overrun a nation by force.
Let me know what plan the rebels have for installing a functional and fair government afterwards, which will actually take care of The People.
Guys, you missed the fact that the southern rebels are already in Damascus!
Its all about weakening any state that Opposes Israeli dominance . what every European , UK, US call these HTS Islamist terrorist – Rebels or free Syrian army, democratic front, – its just a mask , we all know who CIA-Mossad, MI6 – MiT are doing , have armed these terrorist with NATO weapons and supplies. – Training, Arms, supplies, for over 28,000 HTS terrorist – takes a $$ billion.
US-Israeli-UK-European evil comes in many shapes and covert disguises.
Unfortunately , these people are cursed by Islam ideology, doctrine -cancer, that enables the US-Zionist , west world to take advantage of their radical Islamic ideology.
Just don't loose any sleep for the HTS-Islamist – this Islamic cancer is feasting quietly on the France, German, Canadian, Dutch, Swedes, Danish, and English societies.
Enjoy our free speech, freedoms to practice your mantra – Islamic cancer will erase it – submit or get erased. – just wait few decades !
My condolences for French state media. Such a sad time losing their glowing interviews with Asma Assad and her impeccable style during Paris fashion week.
This is the fault of the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey! These are the countries that financed and armed the Syrian rebels and started the war!
Libya.
Fragmenttation or unification?
at stake?
Its already gone.
4:35 and I think the U.S shouldn’t be trying to over throw Syria like they did Libya and the rest of the middle least they have touched.
It seems to the Syrian Army is collapsing as quickly as the Afganistan Army against Taleban in August 2021. Russians left the country a couple days ago including their naval base.
The lesson from all these things, better be friend with Turks, dont be their enemy, they never forget, they just wait and time comes and The Ottoman slap appears…😂
Syrians can either Choose a corrupt government funded by Russia, or corrupt rebels funded by the US and Israel
none of this is true tho is it.
Who's helping Assad this time?
Why is nobody talking about the southern rebels??? Is it because it ruins the narrative?
Bashar al assad is in iran. He ran.
Rebels are in Damascus suburbs tearing down statues openly.
The situation is syrious.
Seems the enemies of the West have spread themselves too thin in the region, I wonder how easy it would be for former Soviet Satellites to rebel against Russia?
The Kurds should secede and take as much territory with them as possible.
You don't need to believe him personally, he has proved what he claimed during his administration of aleppo and idlib, and this kind of action isn't unheard of insislamic history, just think of sallahuddin and how he treated defectors and prisoners of war, or omar al-mukhtar and how he treated defectors and prisoners of war. he said it, and he did it, frankly his track record of claims:deliveries isbetter than joe biden's.
When did Western propaganda stations start calling ISIS terrorists rebels?
I suppose those that attacked Charlie Hebdo were also 'rebels'?
Europe about to get a huge influx of Alawite Refugees.
Assed just fled
i think the supporters will have to call him: 'Prophet HTS' from now on…simply rewrite Islamism to suit the modern agenda…why not? – those within his inner-circle will understand. those on the outside may be reluctant, but they will fold…in due time…
you also mind your own business don’t attack or impose war stop your cunning activities live the world in peace
