Confusion, Chaos in Syria
Bashar al-Assad, who became president of Syria in 2000 after the death of his father, has now fled Syria for Russia, where he was granted asylum. For years, the country has been in a state of civil war. In the days before al-Assad fled, the Islamist militant group Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS) launched a major offensive and captured Aleppo, Hama, and Damascus. HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani is working to establish himself as the new leader. However, there are still other armed, rebel factions in the country. Pray for peace during this turbulent time. Pray for wisdom.
