After 50 years of the oppressive Assad regime, the people of Syria will get a new government.

 

In just two weeks, rebel forces swept through the country and took control of the capital of Damascus.

 

Now, the hard work of nation building begins.

 

Can a new regime heal a traumatized country and usher in an era of peace and prosperity for the long-suffering Syrian people?

 

Host David Smith speaks with Professor Elliot Tepper, Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University, about what’s next for the country.
