#Syria ‘s Sharaa has also said to him “ #Israel is not an enemy” and that he will be ready to start deliberations with them…slowly and in baby steps “Pointing towards the Abraham accords and not signing them” Peace and prosperity and not nation building is the path forward.

#Syria is a cocktail and basket case of sectarianism, ignorance, tribalism and poverty all wrapped in one

Once words are used to dehumanize any group or sect, ugly violence usually follows

Make no mistake about it While few want to admit it, religious and sectarian affiliation reigns supreme above all else #Syria

#Syria is hopeless Total waste of time and energy

Few saw this Umayyad v Alawites quickly switch to Umayyad v Druze

#Syria ‘s new government keeps “opening investigations”

There is soooo much to criticize #Syria ‘s new government for But This country has had close to zero political participation for nearly 5 decades. It will take time and mistakes will inevitably be made along the way. There is no magic wand here

#Syria ‘s Assad never found a way to coexist with #Turkey ‘s Erdogan He did get close enough once to embark on free trade agreement, only to follow that up with deep hate that will come back to bite and even topple him

Direction of travel in #Syria is clear -Increased religious undertone -Less space for minorities -Continuation of one man rule -Hope of foreign investments

#Syria ‘s new government seems to always be promising a investigation تحقيق

#Syria has finally transitioned from one man rule to one man rule

#Syria ‘s past three rulers -Military officer -Son of the Military officer -Armed Militia leader

Out of 79 years from 1946 (independence) to 2025, roughly 73% of the time #Syria has been ruled by an Army Officer (Included Bashar Assad ‘s reign in the above since he was picked by his military officer father)

Congrats #Syria on moving from an Alawi dictatorship to a broader and longer lasting Sunni one

This is day 270 since Al Sharaa strolled into Damascus Still bewildering how easy of a stroll it all was. A system that lasted for nearly six decades fell like a house of cards Those who supported the old are still struggling to comprehend how it all fell apart

Astounding that after all this death and destruction, all that #Syria was able to accomplish was replacing a clean shaven dictator with a bearded one

#Syria has gone from throwing its citizens in prison for carrying US dollars to its citizens making donations to State institutions in US dollars

#Syria ‘s Assad somehow thought that being clean shaven and having a western looking wife was enough to make him a better choice for Washington than the alternative
