In a bold move shaking up the political scene, Syria's interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa has announced the formation of a new transitional government in Damascus. This decision marks a new chapter as the nation gears up for fresh changes. 😊
The new cabinet retains trusted faces from the interim setup. Asaad Hassan al-Shibani has been named foreign minister, former intelligence chief Anas Khattab now heads the interior ministry, and Marhaf Abu Qusra takes charge as defense minister. These choices hint at a continuity that many believe will help stabilize the evolving situation.
In addition to these key appointments, the government has introduced structural changes, including the creation of a ministry of emergency and disasters to better handle natural and humanitarian crises, along with a dedicated ministry of youth and sports aimed at energizing future generations.
This transformative step follows the collapse of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government on December 8, 2024, after a fierce 12-day offensive led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and allied groups. Since Assad's ouster, HTS commander al-Sharaa has steered the interim authorities towards building a new political framework that many hope will bring stability and progress.
For young people and curious minds alike, this is a critical moment of change in Syria’s journey. Stay tuned as the story unfolds—big transformations may be on the horizon!
