Strategic transformations in Syria between yesterday and today
Maha Mohammed Al-Sharif
Over the past two decades, Syria has witnessed a series of political and military events that established it as an open arena for regional and international competition. It became in a state of war, displacement, and a profound difference in the value of political democracy. The concept of normality remained authoritarian, as these events constituted turning points that ultimately led to a dramatic transformation. In the balance of power inside the country, which contributed to accelerating the collapse of the Syrian regime.
The major transformation that has occurred in Syria does not only affect it, as all the militias that supported the previous regime have left in order for it to remain in power, which means the return of Syria to its Arab depth, and indicates the beginning of a phase of stability in the region that will not pass without challenges, but the inevitable result is the return of security and stability for anyone. The most important Arab countries.
If we want to find out the reasons for what happened recently in the Middle East, we must try to build the events on the above, and take effective elements into account, as international efforts to resolve the Syrian crisis are mounting, which has witnessed multiple regional and international interventions, as the event has profound effects on the balance of power. In the region and the world.
No matter how many reasons there are between international and regional powers, we find that all sincere voices stand by the Syrian people and seek to achieve a stable political transition, and are looking to strengthen influence inside Syria as a primary actor in the political scene, and suppress the discordant voices calling for the division of Syria.
Despite everything, we can confirm that wherever there is a society that forms a political unit, there will necessarily be a system that transcends individual will and greedy external interference. Official Arab and international circles have called for adherence to its unity and territorial integrity and to ignore the advocates of division.
In statements made by US President Joe Biden, he stressed that the Syrian people are facing a historic opportunity to build peace in their country, noting that the United States will seek to cooperate with the Syrian parties to establish a transitional phase that will witness a political transformation that achieves stability. Biden explained that Washington will provide its full support to the countries neighboring Syria during the transitional period, within the framework of strengthening regional security and ensuring the stability of the region that is witnessing continuous fluctuations.
Therefore, the goal of politics is to overcome the hostility and disagreement that is constantly generated through events and revolutions. Will the day come when politics achieves this goal? The conflict disappears and fades away, and it leads to expected results when the state institutions stabilize politically and the new regime activates its activity. The Syrian people have suffered. Many of the scourges of division and prison sentences came from the previous regime, so their long experiences gave them more caution and wisdom, and they did not reach the walls of Damascus until after years during which they suffered great human and material losses.
