Syria's political road map backs new president amid reforms DW 01/31/2025
Briefly

Following the announcement of Syria's new interim president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, he delivered his inaugural address outlining plans for a National Dialogue Conference to formulate a new constitutional framework. Al-Sharaa emphasized prioritizing a legitimate government formation and announced the dissolution of past military structures, including his own HTS militia. This strategic shift aims to unify Syria's armed forces under a national army, reflecting a response to years of conflict. However, critics contend he lacks the authority for these sweeping changes, raising questions about the legitimacy of his mandate in this political transition.
We will announce in the coming days a committee charged with preparing the National Dialogue Conference, a direct platform for discussions, to listen to different points of view on our future political program.
Syria's first priority is to fill the governmental vacuum in a legitimate and legal way.
The interim president has neither the right nor the mandate to form a legislative council.
Syria's new president announced the dissolution of the Syrian army as well as armed factions that were involved in ousting Assad.
