The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) stated on Sunday that the recently issued constitutional declaration was "disappointing and did not adequately reflect the aspirations of the Syrian people in building a just and democratic state."

Marking the 14th anniversary of the Syrian uprising (2011), the SDC stressed the importance of adopting comprehensive political solutions that take into account Syria's realities and complexities while respecting pluralism and diversity.

The SDC asserted that "achieving the goals of the revolution is not limited to merely changing the regime but rather requires serious efforts to establish a new system that represents the will of all Syrians, guarantees their rights, and upholds the principles of justice and democracy."

In the same context, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria called on all Syrian people and national forces to unite in drafting a constitution that represents the aspirations of all communities. The SDC noted that this constitution should serve as "the foundation of a free and democratic Syria," reaffirming its commitment to building a pluralistic and decentralized system that ensures equal rights for all Syrians.

The statement also paid tribute to the sacrifices of Syrians who revolted in pursuit of freedom, dignity, and justice, facing a repressive regime that had denied them their rights for decades. The SDC described the popular movement as an expression of national will, striving for a democratic and pluralistic state based on the rule of law.

Protests in Northeast Syria Against the Constitutional Declaration

On Friday, several cities in Hasakah province, controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), witnessed popular protests following the announcement of the new constitutional declaration.

A number of Kurdish protesters carried banners condemning what they described as exclusionary policies by the new Syrian leadership, accusing it of marginalizing Syrian communities in the national dialogue and in the committee responsible for drafting the constitutional declaration.

The protests came after Ahmed al-Sharaa, head of the Syrian transitional government, signed the constitutional declaration, which set the transition period at five years while consolidating all executive powers in the hands of the president, without any mechanisms for accountability.

This sparked widespread rejection from Kurdish factions, who are now demanding a revision of the constitutional declaration to ensure inclusivity and safeguard the rights of all Syrian communities.
