Syria's Sharaa calls for united efforts to rebuild a year after Assad's ouster

United Efforts to Rebuild A Year After Assad's Ouster

As we mark one year since the ousting of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad, President Ahmed al-Sharaa urges the Syrian people to work together towards rebuilding their country. This call for unity is timely, given the significant challenges that lie ahead in ensuring security, rebuilding institutions, and regaining trust.

A Year of Progress, But Many Challenges Remain

President Sharaa's Islamist-led alliance launched a swift offensive in late November last year, culminating in the capture of Damascus on December 8 after nearly 14 years of war. This marked the end of over five decades of the Assad family's authoritarian rule. Since then, President Sharaa has managed to restore Syria's international standing and secure sanctions relief.

However, he faces major hurdles in maintaining national unity. Sectarian violence in Alawite and Druze minority heartlands, as well as ongoing Israeli military operations, have shaken the country's fragile transition.

A Chance for Rebuilding and Healing

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres notes that what lies ahead is far more than a political transition; it is the chance to rebuild shattered communities and heal deep divisions. He emphasizes the importance of international support in achieving this goal.

The Path Forward Building a Stronger Syria

To move forward, we must

• Unite Efforts Foster a unified front among all citizens to build a strong Syria, consolidate stability, safeguard sovereignty, and create a future worthy of the sacrifices made by its people.

• Ensure Security Guarantee the security of all Syrians, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, or political affiliation.

• Rebuild Institutions Restore crumbling institutions to provide basic services and support for the rebuilding process.

• Build Trust Regain trust among the Syrian people by promoting transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in governance.

The Role of International Support

International cooperation will be crucial in achieving these goals. The United Nations Secretary-General's statement highlights the need for international support to rebuild shattered communities and heal deep divisions.
