How did the Syrian regime manage to turn it around?

About one and a half year ago, the collapse of the Syrian regime under heavy rebel pressure looked like it could happen any day. From what I know, many analysts back then believed it would be imminent.



Today the regime has turned it around. It has largely consolidated the western parts of the country, and is slowly making advances against towns held by rebels. The rebel groups also fight each other. The collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime looks currently unlikely.



How could the regime turn it around? Isn't it sad that the likely end result of the long, bloody war is continued rule by the cruel dictator the people tried to overthrow?
