Syria's interim president Ahmed al-Shara has officially formed a caretaker government to guide the country through a transitional phase after over 50 years of dictatorship by the Assad regime. The newly appointed government includes experienced officials, with significant ministries retained by close allies of al-Shara. While the government aims to represent Syria's diverse groups, skepticism remains regarding its inclusivity. Al-Shara plans to maintain this interim administration for up to four years, given the ongoing turmoil, before moving towards elections, which he acknowledges will take considerable time due to the current state of disarray.
The announcement of the caretaker government marks a significant step for Syria as it transitions from decades of dictatorship under the Assad regime, signaling potential changes.
