Syria - The fall of Bashar al-Assad / Chinese medicine usage in psychiatry

主持人：Brian Wong and Paul Zimmerman

On today's Backchat, we’re looking into the latest developments in Syria.

Syrian rebels officially announced that they had ousted President Bashar-al Assad, marking an end to 50 years of iron fist family rule, with Russian news agencies reporting that the deposed leader and his family have fled to Moscow.

The removal of Assad comes after over 13 years of civil war, which killed half a million people and forcibly displaced 12 million in what remains one of the largest such crises in history.

Uncertainty remains as to the country’s governance, although former jihadist leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani now seems to exercise the role of de-facto leader, with several countries urging the new leadership to respect the rights of minorities.

What socio-economic implications do these developments have on the wider Middle East conflict? Can post-Assad Syria retain its secular system? And will religious minorities be protected?

In the last part of the programme, we speak to a psychiatrist on the role of Chinese medicine in helping patients with mild mental health issue, following the introduction of a new programme.
