Syria's New Leadership: Challenges Ahead for President Ahmed al-Shara

Former rebel leader Ahmed al-Shara now grapples with the complexities of governing a post-civil war Syria, from rebuilding to international relations.


Following the recent transition of power in Syria, President Ahmed al-Shara faces substantial obstacles as he assumes leadership over a nation emerging from a devastating civil war while managing intricate diplomatic relations with regional powers and the global community.

In an exclusive interview, Ahmed al-Shara reflected on his new role and the challenges awaiting his government, emphasizing the need for international partnerships to navigate a new era for Syria.

As the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, al-Shara's ascension to the presidency marks a historic change in Syria's political landscape, necessitating dialogue with former allies and adversaries alike. His discussions with Russia and Turkey highlight the evolving geopolitical tensions, as he advocates for the lifting of sanctions against his country and contemplates granting citizenship to foreign fighters willing to contribute to the nation's rebuilding efforts.

Al-Shara's government faces the daunting task of reconstructing a war-torn nation long ruled by the Assad regime while urgently addressing foreign investment and support. Balancing these internal reforms with the pressing need for security, economic stability, and diplomatic legitimacy will shape Syria's future direction in the years to come.
