00:06The leader of that group, Mr Jalani, has been saying things in recent days

00:25What we know is a brutal regime has fallen.
00:28What we don't yet know is exactly what the future is going to be like
00:31for the people of Syria under the new regime.
00:34Let's see what the character of the regime turns out to be.

00:40We've got examples where tyrants have fallen and there's been a better future.
00:44We've also got examples where tyrants have fallen
00:47and there's been great chaos and repression afterwards.
00:50Right now, no one can say which of those paths Syria will be on.
