Syrian opposition groups

Syrian opposition groups are various organizations and coalitions that formed in response to the government of President Bashar al-Assad during the Syrian Civil War, which began in 2011. These groups include armed factions, political entities, and civil society activists, representing a range of ideologies from secularism to political Islam. They seek to overthrow the Assad regime and establish a more democratic and inclusive government. However, the opposition is fragmented, facing internal divisions and external influences, complicating their efforts and objectives amidst ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises in the country.
