After the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, the new President Ahmed al-Sharaa is facing pressure to deliver on promises of power-sharing and inclusion of minorities in the government. A seven-person committee has been formed to plan a national conference for discussing a new constitution, but concerns have been raised about the lack of representation for Kurds, Alawites, and Druze. However, the committee includes individuals like Hind Kabawat, a Christian professor, and Houda Attasi, a humanitarian activist, which may bring more inclusivity to the process.
While optimistic about the potential for a more inclusive government, many Syrians are facing daily hardships as the economy remains in dire straits and security concerns persist outside the capital. Sanctions continue to weigh heavily on the country, requiring the new government to gain international support by following through on promises of creating a broadly based government.
The upcoming naming of a transitional government in March will provide a clearer indication of the direction President Sharaa is taking the country and whether sanctions relief and international support will follow. The Syrian people are hopeful for a better future but are also cautious, waiting to see if the promises of a more inclusive government will be realized. The political developments in Syria will have a significant impact on the lives of its citizens, who are eagerly waiting to see how the future unfolds.
