ARAB DELEGATION DISCUSSES WITH NEW SYRIAN LEADERS

Several delegations from Arab countries met in Damascus on Monday with the new Islamist leaders to find out what direction they intend to take in the context of possible internal changes and a new foreign policy strategy. In this context, the Jordanian head of diplomacy met with the de facto leader of the new Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa

The new Syrian executive wants to convince its guests that it does not intend to share power with the most radical Islamist groups, such as SIS, which has hinted that its aim is to build an Islamist Syria with the help of the groups that are part of the “Daesh” coalition.

This coalition includes ISIS; the “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (ISIL), as well as small Salafist formations. All of them intend to have at least a fraction of the new power in Syria. Several Syrian families, some of whose members died or were tortured in the Assad clan's prisons, have demanded that the new government "do justice and punish the guilty."

What has already been achieved is the free return to Damascus and other places of people who were on a "black list" under the previous regime and threatened with death. "We want to regain our dignity," shouted several hundred returnees in the city of Aleppo this weekend.

On Monday, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan also met in Damascus with Ahmed al-Sharaa, who is the head of the new government, to continue talks on the future of the thousands of Kurds living in the north and east of Syria. Ankara wants to be sure that the Kurdish militias will no longer represent a threat to the regime of President Racip Erdogan.

And finally, Iran wants to know whether the new Syria will continue to participate in the “axis of resistance” against Israel and at the same time in various aspects of US foreign policy. As can be seen, problems are piling up in Damascus, but this was natural to happen with the fall of Bsir El Assad
