Hi there.
I'm Azadeh Moshiri from the BBC World Service.
This is the global story.
A stunning turn of events in Syria.
After more than five decades, the Assad dynasty has ended.
Bashar Al Assad preserved his power despite a civil war that gripped the country for more than 10 years and killed hundreds of thousands of people.
With the help of Iran, Russia and the Lebanese Hezbollah, he fought off rebel groups made up of the jihadist extremists like Islamic State and militias supported by the US until now.
A sudden advance by a coalition of rebel groups while Assad's allies were distracted has thrust Syria back into the spotlight and culminated in an extraordinary 24 hours.
Hayat Tahir Al Sham, who had designated a terrorist organization by the US and the uk, have led these groups to a startling victory over Assad rule.
So how did it happen and what does it mean for Syrians and a region already in the throes of violence and uncertainty?
