The fall of the "regime" it's already a fact.
It became almost lightning fast and bloodless - no fight, the government army just retreated. Just a few days ago, many of my acquaintances in Syria were saying the same thing: the army everywhere had been ordered to retreat and disband.
This is what he wrote on "Facebook" Daher Farid Daher - Lamotte.
Only the local militias remained, such as the Christian militias in my town, where the authorities advised them to negotiate with the "rebels" and for the bloodless surrender of the cities.
The problems are yet to come. The cities are in deathly silence, with small groups gathering in central squares for PR celebrations. In reality, however, everything is in turmoil and silence.
Questions that cut through the cold night and come rushing down like icy, chilling rain, thump like a drum on the surface.
What will happen from now on? Who will take over?
Who will pay the salaries of the people, what will happen to all the civil servants, what will happen to the Christians, to the Druze, to the Alawites, to the Kurds, who will ensure order and peace after the rebels have released all the prisoners.
In the end, the leader and face of this coup is Jolani, a former member of al-Qaeda, whom the US had declared a terrorist and put a bounty on his head.
In fact, if we rewind the tape 13 years, that was exactly the problem. The rebels began to persecute minorities, Islamized and turned the vast majority of the population against them. This made most of the people opponents of these Islamists.
There are now three paths before Syria - one is to turn it into an Islamist hole in the Afghan style. The other is dividing the country into pieces. The third - by some miracle the USA and Europe expel the Islamists and install secular rulers.
