What this episode covers

The fall of dictator Bashar al-Assad has led to the takeover of the state by HTS, headed by Ahmed al-Sharaa, also known by the nom de guerre of Abu Mohammad al-Julani. And he is now appointed President of Syria. So a lot has changed in the past few months, and this has important ramifications not only for Syria and the Syrian people, but also for the region as a whole.
