In light of these transformations, it remains Armed factions Her position on promises, in addition to the role of Islamic movements, are key issues in shaping the future Syria.
Journalist Hannah Houshan opined that “the fall of Damascus came quickly and suddenly, even for the most optimistic.”
Speaking to Sky News Arabia, he noted: “The sounds of gunfire increased and the use of heavy weapons such as artillery appeared in the last days of the regime, reflecting the intensity of the battles.”
He also confirmed that the announcement was made by armed factions The fall of the regime Through official media, it “served as a powerful message at a time of great political transformation,” emphasizing Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Jalali’s willingness to cooperate with the opposition and his claim that he “does not stick to his positions.”
In the same context, a member of the Syrian National Coalition, Hisham Marwa, expressed optimism about the future of Syria, ruling out the possibility of internal fighting thanks to the understanding of the Syrian parties.
Marwa said: “The spirit of tolerance and patriotism that brings together all components of the Syrian people will be the basic guarantee of stability.”
He added: “Involving all components of the people in shaping the country’s future will increase the chances of consensus and reduce the risk of conflict.”
On the contrary, Maher Fargali, an expert on extremist groups, believes that the absence of intellectual and organizational unity among the factions “poses a threat to the stability of Syria.”
Fargali explained that “the diversity of factions, including groups with trends such as al-Qaeda and ISIS, foreshadows potential conflicts,” noting that some of these groups have issued statements calling for “continuation of fighting until the establishment of an Islamic caliphate.”
What guarantees that the armed factions will keep their promises?
Marwa believes that ensuring adherence to the agreement lies in achieving comprehensive representation of all components of Syrian society, which reduces the possibility of defections.
He emphasized the importance of Syrians working together to build a “future that includes everyone.”
But Fargali warns of the danger of division due to the ideological diversity of the factions, explaining that some armed groups, especially extremist groups, may not adhere to the understanding.
He stated that “Islamic movements are characterized by an intellectual unity that makes them less vulnerable to division, while Syrian factions face increasing threats in this regard.”
Fargali’s statements indicate that some parties may see the fall of the regime as an opportunity to support political Islam.
He said, “Organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafist-jihadi groups are seeking to use this moment to increase their influence,” but the diversity within Syria’s factions makes this goal difficult to achieve.
On the regional side, Hakam Amhaz, an expert on regional and international affairs in Tehran, explained that “Iran will support the option chosen by the Syrian people,” noting that its interests are in line with stability in the region.
Amhaz highlighted Iran’s ability to adapt to ongoing changes in international relations in order to achieve its goals.
