The former ruling party in Syria, Bath, is no longer.

The party had ruled the country for decades until it was overthrown, along with former Syrian President Bashar al -Assad, on December 8, after a seeded opposition to Damascus. Wednesday announcement that the party will be Melt Just adding the formal character to that process.

But it was not the only group that was resolved by the authorities – all armed factions were officially resolved, with the plan to integrate former opposition forces into a new government structure.

From among the group that was resolved Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), the group led by the actual governor of Syria, Ahmed Al -Sharra, who assumed a temporary role as not specific as the country’s president on Wednesday.

This step is not a surprise, as members of the Transitional government of Syria indicated weeks ago that HTS and other groups will be resolved. However, the dissolution of the Syrian Baath party is a strong symbolic moment after more than five decades of one -party rule.

What did the new leaders declare in Syria?

He was the actual leader of Syria, Ahmed Al -Sharra, His name is the president For a transition and constitution of the country, which is approved in 2012, it was suspended.

The various armed factions in the country, which followed Damascus and took off the old regime, were resolved with the intention of absorbing them in the official state institutions.

“All the military factions are resolved … and it was incorporated into state institutions,” the government news agency, Hassan Abdel -Ghana, a spokesman for the new government, said. It declared the “violated regime army” and notorious security agencies, as well as the long Baath party.

What is the Baath party?

The Arab Socialist Socialist Party-to give the party its full name-from two Syrians, Michelle Afl and Sahyat al-Din, was established in 1947 as a national and socialist party. The Syrian branch was one element in this regional party in general, but later became a military dictatorship focusing on Syria. The Iraqi branch also became a military dictatorship during the era of Saddam Hussein.

In Syria, the raging people arrived at power in the 1963 coup – in the same year that the party reached power in Iraq. After three years-in 1966-the party wing led by Salah Jadid and Haviz Bashar al -AssadI organized an internal coup for AFLQ and Al-Bitar.

The lion’s senior launched another coup in 1970 to assume a unique control of the party, who led him until his death in 2000. Since then, his son Bashar Al -Washrah took and led the party until December 8, 2024, when he fled to Moscow in the early hours of the morning after the progress of lightning All parts of the country by the Syrian opposition.

What does the Baath party to Syria mean?

The BAATH party was widely seen as a necessity in Syria.

Radwan Ziadeh, chief analyst at the Arab Center, DC, a research organization, He said These ads refer to “the transfer of power to civil hands.”

The party was closely linked to the old regime, and thus had no little possibility of any future in Syria after the revolution. It was also seen as a central ideological pillar of a ruling power tolerance with the small opposition, imprisoned and killed hundreds of thousands of opponents. In fact, in the early hours of December 8, after Assad fled to Moscow, the Syrians raided the offices of the Baath party and party flags.

“There is no future for them who think about their blood stained,” said Elia Ayoub, a researcher and author of the newsletter.

Why was HTS solution as well?

After the 2011 Arab Spring uprising turned into a civil war, the opposition moved to Assad to many groups.

Jabat Al -Nasra was a branch that eventually missed the base with the group and became the Liberation of Al -Sham (HTS).

She established authority over northeastern Syria, where she applied its conservative rule from its base in Idlib.

In late 2024, the operation led to the restoration of the main cities in Syria-Aleppo, Hama, Homes and Damascus-from the Assad regime. After the fall of the regime, the ruler of the reality of the reality in Syria, where it meets with foreign envoys and faults.

Under the evil, it became hts In fact the ruling party In Syria, a temporary government, mostly consisting of officials from the local government that it nominates in Idlib.

However, the group has long mentioned the intention of the solution so that a new government can be formed.

The goal of the new administration from mid to long -term is to form a state with its own institutions. The declared plan is to integrate HTS and other rebel factions in an appropriate security service that constitute the fight against military security, public security, border control and the police force.

Is there a timetable for the new government and government institutions that must be formed?

Not one company.

Al -Sharra has previously pledged to supervise the political transition of Syria, including a national dialogue with various stakeholders, to form a comprehensive government and eventually hold elections. However, he said that it might take up to four years before the elections.

What happens after that?

Sharra will form a temporary legislative council to supervise the country’s transitional phase until a new constitution is adopted. Who will be announced the members of the new council.

The running out of patience rises between some Syrians. One of the criticisms coming from the Syrian civil society towards the new administration was its failure to communicate or meet the families of thousands of people who disappeared under the Assad regime.

“There is no real plan, and yet it does not seem to have an intention to seriously accountize it [al-]Assad and regime crimes.

“The lack of accountability in terms of not doing a lot or in some cases hinders the process of finding evidence when it comes to [to issues of accountability, such as] Collective graves relate to hundreds of thousands, if not more, will be left forget about what happened to their loved ones. “

What was the reaction of this step?

mixed.

While many Syrians and observers expected HTS and the Baath party, there are concerns about acting and the creation of a fixed timetable for the emergence of a new country.

The crowd in the announcement on Wednesday was greatly consisting of military figures. While a few of them were surprised that the badge was awarded the title of the president during the transition, some commentators are still criticizing the absence of a transparent process or any democratic process.

Tonight is an affirmation of all the measures taken by the HTS government since its arrival in power: strengthening and unifying the dominance of HTS over the state and its institutions, and the establishment of a new authoritarian state with the neoliberal economic orientation.

Moreover, the questions about how to collect Sharra and temporary management remain among a variety of armed factions now as there is no unified enemy in Assad.

Among the main factions that are still agreed to join the new project of Shara, the Syrian Syrian forces backed by the United States and Kurdish (SDF), which were fighting the Syrian national army backed by Turkish in northern Syria.

However, there is also room for optimism given the 14 -year period that difficult Syria has endured since the 2011 Arab Spring, the analysts say.

Ayb said: “The assertion that this is a transitional-timer period-and the evil is the head of the transitional period, on a large scale in the context of Syria, more positive than negative.”
