Syria’s Future: Promises Meet Reality in Online Discussion
Experts to examine inclusivity and governance in post-transition Syria
As Syria navigates its transition, the question of whether the new government can truly represent all Syrians remains central. A Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP) discussion will explore these critical issues.
Upcoming Discussion
On Thursday, July 31 at 10 a.m. EST, TIMEP will host an online discussion titled “A ‘Syria for all Syrians’: Between Promises and Reality.”
The discussion will feature **Ola Suliman**, **Samy Akil**, **Kholoud Helmi**, and **Lina Ghoutouk**, with moderation by **Mai El-Sadany**.
Panelists will discuss the new Syrian authorities’ actions toward inclusive governance and how Syrians perceive the government’s ability to address their concerns. They will also consider the implications of the responses to the coastal attacks and the Mar Elias church bombing.
Recent Violence Raises Concerns
Several disturbing incidents have occurred despite the new authorities’ commitments. The “coastal attacks”
in March resulted in numerous deaths and implicated various factions. Additionally, the Mar Elias Church bombing in Damascus caused terror and deepened anxieties.
