Liberation of Syria

Libya was also liberated from dictator gaddafi and guess what there has been no political stability in libya since his regime fell.There has been a civil war.
Syria is moving in the right direction.
After New Syria integrates most of the former regime forces, there will be no worthy political faction left.

Kurds are a non Arab minority originating from Iran who should not seek sovereignty in Syria, Iraq, or Turkey. Can't go around claiming parts of other countries and civilizations in their name. I am against even their autonomy in Iraq because it seems more than autonomy, seems almost independent. Compare it to Kurdistan province in Iran where they are not that independent.

On December 20, 2024, thousands of Syrians gathered in Damascus's Umayyad Square to celebrate the establishment of their new government following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime. The celebration was marked by:

Key Highlights​

  • Large crowds filled the square
  • Fireworks illuminated the night sky
  • The new Syrian opposition flag was prominently displayed
  • Many participants were Syrians who had recently returned to the country

Celebration Context​

The event followed the dramatic collapse of Assad's 50-year regime, which occurred after a swift rebel offensive led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), now led by Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani). The rebels swept into Damascus on Sunday, causing Assad to flee to Russia.

Symbolic Significance​

The celebration in Umayyad Square represented more than just a political transition. It symbolized hope for many Syrians who had endured years of conflict, displacement, and oppression under the Assad regime. The festive atmosphere and the display of the new flag signaled a potential new chapter in Syria's tumultuous history.

Turkiye will do ‘whatever it takes’ if Syria government cannot address Kurd militia issue, minister says

ANKARA: Turkiye will do “whatever it takes” to ensure its security if the new Syrian administration cannot address Ankara’s concerns about US-allied Kurdish groups it views as terrorist groups, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday.

Turkiye regards the YPG, the militant group spearheading the US-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), as an extension of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants who have fought an insurgency against the Turkish state for 40 years and are deemed terrorists by Ankara, Washington, and the European Union.

Hostilities have escalated since the toppling of Bashar al-Assad less than two weeks ago, with Turkiye and Syrian groups seizing the city of Manbij from the SDF on Dec. 9. Assad’s fall has left the Kurdish factions on the back foot as they seek to retain political gains made in the last 13 years.

In an interview with France 24, Fidan said Ankara’s preferred option was for the new administration in Damascus to address the problem in line with Syria’s territorial unity, sovereignty, and integrity, adding that the YPG should be disbanded immediately.

“If it doesn’t happen, we have to protect our own national security,” he said. When asked if that included military action, Fidan said: “whatever it takes.”

Asked about SDF commander Mazloum Abdi’s comments about the possibility of a negotiated solution with Ankara, Fidan said the group should seek such a settlement with Damascus, as there was “a new reality” there now.

Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has taken a significant step towards unifying the country's rebel factions by brokering a deal to merge them under the Defense Ministry. This move comes just weeks after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime on December 8, 2024, marking the end of decades of Assad family rule

Al-Sharaa, who leads the powerful Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, met with other Syrian military faction chiefs on Tuesday, December 24, 2024. During this meeting, they agreed to dissolve all factions and integrate them under a unified defense ministry. This agreement is seen as a crucial step in Syria's political transition and efforts to stabilize the country after years of civil war.

Prime Minister Mohammed al-Bashir has announced plans to restructure the ministry, incorporating former rebel factions and officers who defected from Assad's army. This inclusive approach aims to create a more representative military force and facilitate national reconciliation.

In a move to reassure international observers, al-Sharaa has promised Western officials that there will be no revenge against the former regime or oppression of religious minorities. This stance signals a potential departure from the cycle of retribution that has characterized much of Syria's recent history.

A key appointment in this restructuring process is Murhaf Abu Qasra, a prominent figure in the insurgency against Assad, who has been named as the interim defense minister. Abu Qasra, also known by his nom de guerre Abu Hassan 600, is a senior leader in the HTS and played a crucial role in the campaign that ousted Assad.

The agreement to unify armed groups under state control extends beyond just the rebel factions. Al-Sharaa has stated that all weapons in the country, including those held by Kurdish-led forces, should come under state control. However, it's worth noting that the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which operates in northeastern Syria, is not included in this recent agreement

This ambitious restructuring faces significant challenges. Al-Sharaa must now navigate the complex task of maintaining unity among these diverse factions, each with its own interests and history of conflict. The success of this unification effort will be crucial for Syria's stability and its ability to move forward as a cohesive nation.

As Syria enters this new phase, the international community watches closely. Jordan's foreign minister has expressed support for Syria's reconstruction efforts. while Qatar has reopened its embassy in Damascus. These diplomatic moves suggest a cautious optimism among regional players about Syria's future under its new leadership.

Iran and Hezbollah supported the massacres to create millions of Sunni refugees. Don't know how they thought nobody noticed it, labeling millions of people terrorist.

Assad regime made billions a year from illegal drug. Hezbollah was original manufacturer and distributor in the middle east. Buyers mostly Gulf Arabs. No surprise.

Syria can become a beacon in the middle east if it stays on this course. Eventually, it will outshine the brutal apartheid, racist, fascist, terrorist, messianic, genocidal, settler colonial state next to it.

Timestamped - Really, might as well ritually worship the idol ruler! Culture of idolatry which goes back thousands of years became ubiquitous in the middle east when Khilafat ended.

The least idolatrous people in the middle east are anti-Zionist Jews (similar to original Biharis).

Assad regime torturer: "Here there is no God. I am God."
This did not happen only in Syria. It exists across the middle east.
