The fall of the tyrant Bashar Al-Assad and the liberation of Syria at the hands of a few faithful men within ten days continues to send shockwaves among secularists and Arab nationalists. They have not yet recovered nearly a month since Assad’s ouster, and are still shocked at the astonishingly rapid victory of a group of people from the Levant and some of their supporters, who accomplished in days what armies and international powers failed to achieve in years.

Their disorientation has caused them to make allegations here and there, uttering the most heinous insults and analysing the situation in Syria with their sick imaginations that rely on conspiracy theories being behind everything happening in the world, especially in the Arab region. Such people believe that nothing can happen without the US and Israel being behind it. They are convinced that anything that happens must have been planned behind closed doors, and that Ahmed Al-Sharaa, Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) and the conquerors of Damascus are nothing but American agents to be used as Washington pleases to divide Syria into mini-states.

These sick people will need a long time to recover from this conspiracy theory that has corrupted their thinking.

They are accustomed to servitude and oppression and have grown........
