Syrian bath party dissolved: What happens next? , Syria’s war news

The former Syrian governing party, bath, is none other.

The party ruled the country for decades for decades, until the opposition groups uprooted it in Damascus on 8 December with the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Wednesday announced that the party would only formally dissolve that process.

But this was not the only group to be dissolved by the authorities – all armed groups were also officially dissolved, placing to integrate former opposition forces into a new government structure.

Group’s disintegrated Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the group led by the real ruler of Syrian Ahmed al-Shara, who played an undetermined temporary role as the President of the country on Wednesday.

This step is not surprising because members of the Syrian transitional government have indicated that HTS and other groups will be dissolved. The disintegration of the Syrian Bath Party, however, is a strong symbolic moment after a one-party rule over five decades.

What new Syrian leaders have announced?

The real Syrian leader, Ahmed al-Shara, was officially nominated for a transitional phase and the constitution of the country adopted in 2012 was suspended.

Various armed factions of the country, which marched on Damascus and the old regime were removed, they were dissolved, with the intention of absorbing them in official state institutions.

“All military groups are dissolved,” state news agency, Sana, told the new government spokesman Hasan Abdel Ghani. He announced “disintegration of the army of faulty regime” and notorious security agencies as well as a long-lasting bath party.

What is Baath Party?

The Arab Socialist Bath Party-party was established in 1947 as a Pan-Arab nationalist and Samajwadi Party by the Syrian, Mitchell Aflak and Salah al-Din al-Bitter to give their full name to the party. The Syrian branch was an element of this Pan-Arab regional party, but later became a military dictatorship centered on Syria. The Iraqi branch also became a military dictatorship under Saddam Hussain.

In Syria, Bathist came to power in the 1963 coup – the same year the party came to power in Iraq. Three years later in 1966-A wing of the party led by Salha Jadid and Hafz al-Asad, then a bathist general and recently overthrown President Bashar al-Assad’s father also staged an internal coup, who staged an internal coup, who to Aflak Removed and Al-Bitter.

Al-Assad Senior made another coup in 1970 to take the unique control of the party, which he took to his death in 2000. Since then, his son, Bashar took a mantle and led the party by 8 December 2024, when he fled to Moscow in the early hours of the morning after an electricity advance across the country by the Syrian opposition.

What does the disintegration of the Bath party for Syria means?

The disintegration of the bath party was widely seen as a requirement in Syria.

A research organization, a senior analyst of the Arabian Center Washington DC, Redwan Ziadih, said that these announcements indicated “infection of power in civil hands”.

The party was closely associated with the old regime and therefore there was little possibility for any future in Syria after the revolution. It was also seen as a central ideological column for a governing authority, which tolerated hundreds of opponents a little dissatisfaction, imprisonment and killing. Indeed, in the early hours of December 8, after the escape of Al-Asad Moscow, the Syrians trampled the bath party offices and the party flags.

“There is no future for him to consider her blood records,” said Eliya Job, a researcher and writer at The Huntslogies Newsletter.

Why was HTS also dissolved?

After the 2011 Arab spring rebellion turned into a civil war, al-Assad’s opposition fractured in many groups.

Jabbat al-Nusara was an al-Qaeda offshoot that eventually broke with the group and became Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

It established authority over the Northeast of Syria, where it implemented its orthodox rule in Edalib with its base.

In late 2024, it led the operation to withdraw the operation from the Al-Assad regime to withdraw the major cities of Syrians-Elappo, Hama, Holmes and Damascus. After the government fell, Al-Shara became the real ruler of Syria, met with foreign messengers and notices.

Under Al-Sara, HTS became a real governing party in Syria and established an interim government, primarily made up of local government officials, which he moved to Idlib.

Nevertheless, the group had intended to dissolve for a long time to form a new government.

The new administration has to create a state with its own institutions for a long -term goal from the middle of the new administration. The plan stated to merge HTS and other rebel groups in a proper security service that will create military, general security and border control and police force.

Is there a timeline for the formation of new government and state institutions?

Not a firm.

Al-Shara had previously promised to oversee the political transition of Syria, including holding a national dialogue with various stakeholders, forming an inclusive government and eventually elections. However, he has said that it may take time to four years before the election.

what happens next?

Al-Shara will form a temporary legislative council to oversee the transitional phase of the country until a new constitution is adopted. Members of the new council are yet to be declared.

There is increasing impatience between some Syrian people. One of the criticisms coming from the Syrian citizen society towards the new administration is a failure to communicate or meet the families of thousands of people in the country who disappeared under the rule of Al-Assad.

“There is still no real plan and so far they (al-) are not an intention for serious accountability for Assad and Governance Crimes,” Ayub said.

“Lack of accountability in case of obstructing the process of finding evidence in too much or in some cases (for accounting issues) is about large -scale tombs because many hundreds of thousands, if not more, will happen to loved ones Left in Limbo about what happened with it. ,

What is the reaction to this step?

miscellaneous.

While many Syrians and obs

The crowd present in the announcement on Wednesday was made up of military figures. While some people would be surprised that Al-Shara was given the president’s title during the transitional phase, some commentators still criticized a transparent or lack of any democratic process.

All measures taken by the HTS government since tonight came to power are confirmed: to strengthen and strengthen the domination of HTS on the state and its institutions, the establishment of a new ruling state with a neolithic economic orientation.

Furthermore, the questions are about how the al-shara and interim administration will bring a diverse group of armed factions together that Al-Assad has no integrated enemy.

Among the major groups that still do not agree to join the new project of Al-Shara, they are US-backed and Kurdish-Nedic Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which from the Turkish Syrian National Army (SNA) in Northern Syria are fighting.

Analysts say that still, there is some place for some optimism for a 14 -year period, which has ended since the Syria 2011 Arab spring.

“Emphasizing that it is an infection period-and is a President for a temporary-and-al-show transitional period, roughly speaking in terms of Syria, is more positive than negative,” Ayoob said. .
