Syria Faces Challenges a Year After Civil War Ended
A year ago, Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, left the country after a rebel group took over.
The new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who used to be part of a group called HTS, is now trying to fix Syria.
He has met with the US president and is working on making the country better.
But there are still many problems.
Some groups are fighting each other, and many people need help because their homes and important things like water and electricity are broken.
It will cost a lot of money to fix everything.
India, which used to be friends with the old president, is now talking to the new leader about working together.
Ahmed al-Sharaa, former HTS leader, became Syria's president after Bashar al-Assad fled.
Al-Sharaa has rebranded himself as a modern leader and received US President Donald Trump's approval.
Syria faces ethnic violence and economic challenges after 14 years of civil war.
Human Rights Watch criticizes the NCTJ for overlooking war crimes by groups other than Assad's regime.
Millions in Syria need humanitarian aid, with significant infrastructure damage and a high reconstruction cost.
