Syria faces renewed fears of civil war as a new armed group, the “Military Council for the Liberation of Syria,” has been formed by Brigadier General Ghayath Dalla, a loyalist of ousted President Bashar al-Assad. This comes after over a thousand Assad supporters were killed in a week, prompting the formation of the group to retaliate against the interim government led by former Al-Qaeda leader Ahmed al-Shara.

The group has called for an uprising against the interim government, raising concerns of escalating violence and instability in the war-torn nation. The move signals a potential resurgence of conflict, as rival factions vie for control, threatening to plunge Syria back into chaos. The international community watches closely as the situation unfolds, with hopes of preventing further bloodshed.
