Securing a Strategic Advantage in Biosecurity for NATO

Dr Karin von Hippel provides her views on hat might be next for Syria following the toppling of the Assad regime.

"For the time being, HTS has been very smart in deciding how to use language, such as saying that this government is transitional," argues Urban Coningham, a researcher at the Royal United Services Institute and an expert on Middle East security and geopolitics.

Elijah Glantz, a research analyst and project officer in RUSI’s organised crime and policing research group said: “The Syrian regime – and Captagon trade – has been an amalgamation of regional elites groups and regional forces aligning with Assad. As such, these groups will likely remain considerable providers of political influence and security in the interim."
