The recent political talks in Syria, described by de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa as pivotal for democratic transition, opened with calls for national unity. Al-Sharaa emphasized the formation of a transitional justice committee and stressed the need for a state monopoly on weapons. However, the announcement of the talks raised skepticism, as many expected further delays. Al-Sharaa's remarks highlighted the complexities of post-war reconstruction while endorsing the integration of previously opposing Kurdish-led forces into the national army, underscoring the critical balance needed for a sustainable political transition.
Ahmed al-Sharaa emphasized the importance of unity among Syrians in his address, stating, 'I urge all Syrians to stand united and hand in hand to heal the wounds and wash away the pains after decades of dictatorship.'
In his vision for Syria's future, al-Sharaa made clear that 'The unity of arms and their monopoly by the state is not a luxury but a duty and an obligation,' stressing the significance of state control over arms.
