Syria admits inability to rebuild without Russia
(MENAFN) Syria's interim government, formed after the fall of Bashar Assad on December 8, is working hard to rebuild the country amid ongoing instability. Led by Ahmad As-Sharaa, the new leadership is focused on national reconciliation, but challenges persist, particularly in restoring Syria’s territorial integrity and ensuring the return of displaced people and refugees. The United Nations reports that over 115,000 Syrians have returned, but many still remain abroad.
On the international front, the interim government is seeking to build relations with both Western and Middle Eastern nations, including through meetings in Saudi Arabia and visits to neighboring countries. Talks with Russia are also ongoing, with discussions held in both Damascus and Moscow. Domestically, the government is exploring Syria’s future political structure. Opposition leader Hadi al-Bahra stressed that despite Assad's fall, the revolution is not complete and must continue until justice, freedom, and democracy are achieved.
The interim government is focused on maintaining state institutions and avoiding the chaos seen in other post-conflict countries like Iraq and Libya. Key achievements include restoring essential services and ensuring security in major cities. However, the country remains deeply divided, with ongoing localized conflicts, particularly between different ethnic and religious groups. Violence continues in areas such as Homs, and tensions with the Alawite community persist.
Managing relationships with minority groups, including Christians, Druze, and Kurds, remains a delicate task. While there is cautious optimism about the new administration, there are concerns about their representation in Syria’s future political system. Efforts are being made to integrate the Druze and Kurds into governance, such as the appointment of Mohsena al-Maitawi as governor of Suwayda province. Negotiations with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are also underway to incorporate Kurdish military units into Syria’s Ministry of Defense, though this could provoke opposition from Turkey.
