UN Calls for Patience and Hope as Syria Faces a New Chapter
Reuters
The United Nations has urged patience and vigilance as Syria faces a historic transition following the fall of Damascus to rebel forces. With millions of refugees displaced by 13 years of war, the UN sees an opportunity for peace, but cautions against rushing decisions.
The United Nations expressed its hope for a future chosen by the Syrian people after rebels seized Damascus and President Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia, ending over 50 years of Assad family rule. UN Secretary-General’s spokesman Stéphane Dujarric and UN refugee chief Filippo Grandi emphasized the need for patience as millions of refugees displaced by Syria's 13-year civil war weigh returning home.
Grandi highlighted the opportunity for peace but acknowledged the uncertainty, as some refugees are eager to return while others remain cautious. Meanwhile, European countries have paused Syrian asylum applications. Assad's prime minister announced plans to transfer power to the rebel-led Salvation Government, marking a significant turning point for Syria and its people.
