Hezbollah's Shadow Economy in Post-Assad Syria
Original: Hezbollah’s Shadow Economy in Post-Assad Syria
With Bashar al-Assad's government gone, attention is turning to Hezbollah's financial networks inside Syria. The group long relied on Syrian territory for smuggling routes, cash transfer and logistics that funded its operations in Lebanon. Analysts warn these informal economic channels could persist under the new authorities, complicating efforts to stabilise Syria and curb the organisation's regional influence.
Why now: The fall of the Assad government has raised urgent questions about what happens to Hezbollah's illicit financial networks in Syria.
