Ahmad al-Sharaa, the newly appointed president of Syria's transitional phase, announced key steps for the country's political future during his first address on Thursday.

In his speech, al-Sharaa emphasized that the transitional phase was part of a broader political process that requires the participation of Syrians both inside and outside the country. He stated, "The participation of Syrians in the political process is essential for building their future with freedom and dignity, without exclusion or marginalization."

Al-Sharaa also outlined plans to form an inclusive transitional government that reflects Syria's diversity, with equal representation of men, women, and youth. The government, he said, would focus on rebuilding the country's institutions.

Furthermore, he announced the creation of a preparatory committee to select a small legislative council to fill the current political vacuum during the transitional period. Al-Sharaa also revealed plans to establish a preparatory committee for a national dialogue conference, which will serve as a direct platform for discussions and consultations.

"Once these steps are completed, we will announce a constitutional declaration to serve as the legal reference for the transition," al-Sharaa said. He emphasized that the next priority will be achieving national reconciliation and ensuring justice through a true transitional justice process to pursue those responsible for war crimes.

On Wednesday, Colonel Hassan Abdul Ghani, spokesperson for Syria's military operations, confirmed that al-Sharaa had assumed the role of president and would lead the transitional government. The interim president was authorized to form a temporary legislative council until a permanent constitution was established.

Additionally, the 2012 constitution was abolished, and all exceptional laws were suspended, including the dissolution of the previous People's Assembly and its affiliated committees.

Al-Sharaa appointed as president

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 Ahmed al-Sharaa had assumed the presidency during the transitional phase and is now serving as the president of the Syrian Arab Republic.
