In a televised statement on Tuesday, Mohamed al-Bashir announced his appointment as the caretaker prime minister of Syria’s transitional government. He will hold the position until March 1, 2025.
“This is a pivotal moment for our nation,” al-Bashir stated. “I am honored to serve the Syrian people during this transitional period as we work towards stability and rebuilding.”
The appointment marks a significant step in Syria’s efforts to navigate the challenges of governance during a critical time in its history. With years of conflict affecting the country’s political and social fabric, the establishment of a transitional government aims to pave the way for comprehensive reforms and reconciliation.
Al-Bashir emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration among all Syrians. “Our focus will be on fostering dialogue, ensuring security, and laying the groundwork for a prosperous future,” he said.
The transitional government is expected to address key issues such as rebuilding infrastructure, reviving the economy, and facilitating the return of displaced citizens. International observers are closely watching developments, hopeful that this change in leadership may lead to lasting peace and stability in the region.
Residents across Syria have expressed cautious optimism about the new appointment. “We hope that this will bring positive changes and help us move forward,” said Amina, a shopkeeper in Damascus.
As the caretaker prime minister, al-Bashir’s responsibilities will include leading the government through the transitional period, overseeing the implementation of policies aimed at recovery, and preparing for eventual democratic elections.
The next few months will be crucial as the transitional government sets its course. The international community stands ready to support Syria’s journey toward rebuilding and peace.
