As the world stands on the cusp of 2025, Syria finds itself at a crossroads after a year of monumental change. The late November offensive by rebel forces culminated on December 8 when they entered Damascus and overthrew President Bashar al-Assad.

In the ancient city of Aleppo, a Syrian resident reflects on the past year and looks ahead with cautious optimism. “I hope I can take better care of my children and family to make their lives better,” he shares, his gaze steady despite the uncertainties that lie ahead. His personal wish transcends his immediate circle as he adds, “I also wish for peace for all people, not only in Syria but around the world.”
His heartfelt sentiments are emblematic of a collective yearning for stability and harmony after years of conflict. As Syrians welcome the new year, many are voicing their hopes and resolutions, seeking a future where peace prevails and families can thrive once more.
The transformation in Syria’s political landscape has left its citizens navigating uncharted territory. Yet, amidst the challenges, the resilience and enduring spirit of the Syrian people shine through. Their stories of hope and aspirations for 2025 offer a glimpse into a nation’s desire for renewal and reconciliation.
