Syria faces orderly transition to avoid failed state
Intelligence cited by the State Department warns northern Syria could become a failed state without a stable transition from Bashar al Assad. The assessment cites chaos from Aleppo to the Turkish border, a vacuum aiding Jabhat al Nusra while warlords loot, and widespread civilian hardship including soaring fuel and bread costs. It urges U.S. support for moderate rebels and intact state institutions under new leadership.
