The United Nations has called for urgent action to address escalating risks in Syria, urging inclusive governance and a halt to aggression. Meanwhile, deadly clashes near Tartous have deepened concerns over stability in the region.
The United Nations has sounded the alarm over growing tensions in Syria, with Special Envoy Geir Pedersen emphasizing the need for a Syrian-led transition and adherence to Security Council Resolution 2254.
Speaking at a Security Council meeting, UN Associate Spokesperson Stéphanie Tremblay highlighted Pedersen’s call for credible governance reforms, constitutional changes, and the meaningful participation of women in Syria's political future.
"The key principles of Resolution 2254 have wide consensus," Tremblay stated, quoting Pedersen. "Syria's sovereignty, territorial unity, and integrity must be restored, and all acts of aggression must cease immediately."
While diplomatic efforts remain at the forefront, the situation on the ground paints a grim picture. Rebel-led authorities reported an ambush near the port city of Tartous, where 14 troops loyal to ousted President Bashar al-Assad were killed and 10 others injured. The attack directly challenges the authority of Syria’s de facto leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, raising fears of further instability.
The ambush underscores the fragile state of governance and the urgent need for an inclusive resolution to the conflict. The UN’s call for immediate ceasefire efforts and a path to free and fair elections seeks to address these challenges, but progress remains elusive amid deep divisions and ongoing violence.
As the crisis deepens, the international community is being urged to act swiftly to prevent further escalation and to support a sustainable, Syrian-led solution to the conflict.
