In a report that would have been unthinkable just months ago, ABC’s Foreign Correspondent returns to Syria for a rare glimpse at life after the Assad regime.
Reporter Stephanie March goes behind the headlines to explore a nation caught between cautious recovery and fresh turmoil.
As the dust settles, the question remains: what does the “new” Syria really look like?
From ABC:
When a former Al Qaeda commander and his allies swept the brutal Assad regime from power with stunning speed, it caught the world by surprise.
There was jubilation over the fall of the Syrian dictator, but huge questions about what comes next.
Ongoing outbreaks of violence between those allied to the new government and groups still loyal to Assad have only added to the uncertainty.
On Foreign Correspondent reporter Stephanie March travels to Syria on a journey that would have been unthinkable only a few short months ago.
She sees first-hand the “new” Syria. With an economy in ruins largely due to imposed sanctions, she meets the people who are trying to recover from decades of Assad’s cruel dictatorship as well as those who have the most to lose if actions of revenge and retribution are allowed to continue.
