About our Syrian Politics news

Latest news and developments on Syrian politics as the nation navigates a pivotal transitional period under the Syrian transitional government. After the fall of Damascus on 8 December 2024, following a successful rebel offensive, and the ousting of former president Bashar al-Assad, Syria is now governed by a transitional administration. This administration, led by Prime Minister Mohammed al-Bashir under the Syrian Salvation Government, was tasked with leadership by the dominant opposition faction, Tahrir al-Sham. The transitional phase is set to continue until 2026, representing a defining moment in Syria's modern history.

Our coverage provides in-depth insights into the efforts of the transitional government to stabilise the country, rebuild essential institutions, and manage complex power-sharing dynamics among opposition factions. We also explore the broader implications of these changes for the Syrian people, regional stability, and global geopolitics.
