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.
