In the wake of escalating violence and a death toll exceeding 1,000, Syria's interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has called for national unity and civil peace. Speaking from his childhood neighborhood in Damascus, Sharaa highlighted the necessity of preserving stability and moral values in the face of civil unrest. Violence has surged particularly among Alawite civilians following attacks from troops loyal to former President Bashar Assad, resulting in brutal retaliations. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported significant casualties among both civilians and fighters, underscoring a humanitarian crisis fueled by renewed conflicts within the country.
"We must preserve national unity [and] civil peace as much as possible and, God willing, we will be able to live together in this country."
"What is currently happening in Syria is within the expected challenges...there is no fear for Syria."
