The Prime Minister in charge of the transition in Syria, Mohammad al-Bashir, immediately appointed, promised calm and stability to the Syrians on Tuesday, two days after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s power during a dazzling offensive by a coalition of rebels.
Along the same lines, Abu Mohammad al-Joulani, the leader of the radical Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) at the head of the rebel coalition, told Sky News from Damascus that “People are exhausted by the war. The country is not ready for another, and will not find itself in another (war)”.
After Mr. Assad fled to Russia and the rebels entered Damascus on Sunday, life has returned to normal in the Syrian capital where businesses have reopened. But for many Syrians, the priority remains the search for missing loved ones caught up in decades of fierce repression by the Assad clan.
The head of American diplomacy, Antony Blinken, said that the United States “will fully recognize and support a future Syrian government resulting from an inclusive (political) process”.
“It is time for these people to enjoy stability and calm (…) and to know that their government is there to provide them with the services they need”declared Mr. Bachir in an interview with the Al Jazeera channel.
