The Syrian Military Operations Department announced a series of sweeping changes on Wednesday, including the dissolution of key political and military institutions associated with the previous regime.

Speaking in an official statement, Colonel Hassan Abdul Ghani declared the dissolution of the Arab Socialist Baath Party and the National Progressive Front, effectively dismantling the political structure that had ruled Syria for decades.

Abdul Ghani also announced the dissolution of the former regime's army, stating that a new Syrian army would be rebuilt "on national foundations" to serve the country's interests.

Furthermore, he confirmed that Leader Ahmad al-Sharaa had assumed the presidency during the transitional phase and is now carrying out the duties of the president of the Syrian Arab Republic.

The statement also outlined major constitutional changes, including the dissolution of the People's Assembly and its affiliated committees, along with the cancellation of the 2012 Constitution. The transitional leadership will authorize the president of the republic to establish a temporary legislative council to oversee governance until a permanent constitution is approved.

Abdul Ghani added that all military factions, as well as political and civil revolutionary bodies, will be dissolved and integrated into state institutions as part of efforts to "unify governance and establish stability."

All factions to be dissolved

Al-Sharaa had revealed in December a set of decisions currently under review by the country's interim government., wherein he confirmed that "there will be no mandatory military conscription, except for certain specialties, which will be obligatory for short periods."

Additionally, increasing salaries by 400% in Syria is being considered, said al-Sharaa, who is also the leader of the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group that managed, as part of an alliance, to capture most of the Syrian territory and lead to the ousting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad last week.

He pointed out that the primary priorities are rebuilding destroyed homes and returning displaced individuals.

Al-Sharaa also confirmed that all factions in Syria will be dissolved, emphasizing that there will be no weapons in the hands of anyone other than the new Syrian state.
