Syria is in the midst of a historic shakeup as its constitution and parliament are suspended for three months, according to reports from AFP and local outlet Sawt al-Asima. The move follows the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad by militant groups over the weekend, marking a dramatic shift in the war-torn nation’s political landscape. 🚨
A New Chapter Unfolds
With Assad now in Moscow under Russian asylum, a transitional government led by Mohammed al-Bashir—a previously low-profile figure from northwestern Syria—has taken charge. The interim administration plans to establish a judicial committee to review the constitution and propose amendments, though details remain sparse. 🔍
What’s Next for Syria?
The transitional government aims to steer the country until March 2025, but questions linger about stability and international recognition. Analysts compare the upheaval to a 'political reset button,' with hopes for peace tempered by fears of power struggles. 🌪️
Russia’s role remains pivotal, having granted Assad asylum and called for a peaceful transition. Meanwhile, Syrians brace for uncertainty as the world watches closely. 💬
