Syria's New Parliament Holds First Post-Assad Session
At 4:32 · chapter starts 4:12
In a moment freighted with historical significance, Syria's newly elected People's Assembly gathered for its inaugural session since the ouster of longtime autocrat Bashar Assad. The 210-member body represents a deliberate hybrid structure: two-thirds of its members were directly elected by the Syrian people, while one-third were appointed by the country's interim president — a compromise reflecting the fragile political landscape. The stated goal of this reconvening is ambitious: restart the legislative process in a country that has seen years of brutal civil war and the collapse of centralized governance. While enormous challenges remain, the opening of parliament signals at least the formal beginning of a new political era for Syria.
