Syria is currently engaged in a significant national dialogue aimed at shaping its political future.The transitional government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, has initiated preparations for a National Dialogue Conference intended to establish a new constitution and electoral framework.
A seven-member preparatory committee has been formed to organize this conference. The committee has stipulated that groups must disarm and submit to the authority of the Ministry of Defense to participate in the dialogue ( arms and dialogue don’t go hand in hand ).
The upcoming conference is expected to address critical issues, including social, political, economic, and governance reforms, with the goal of establishing a future based on national consensus, justice, and inclusion.
Already different governorates are meeting and have started the preliminary process of National Dialogue
The transitional government has indicated that organizing elections could take up to four years, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive constitutional framework and the reconstruction of Syria’s infrastructure. The timeline for the National Dialogue Conference remains uncertain, as preparations continue and negotiations with various factions, including the SDF, are ongoing.
As Syria navigates this critical period its hopes are the success of the national dialogue which will include diverse groups, address the concerns of all stakeholders, and lay the groundwork for a stable and inclusive future.
