Six months after deposing Assad, Syria faces security, economic challenges

Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has succeeded in establishing international legitimacy and removing crippling sanctions, yet faces significant challenges in rebuilding national institutions, reviving the economy, and unifying a fractured country post-Assad’s ousting. Navigating the complex political landscape involving various factions and addressing sectarian violence are critical, while ensuring stability and an inclusive political process are paramount. Additionally, as Syria grapples with a devastated economy and security issues, Sharaa must implement reforms to attract foreign investment and manage relations with neighboring Israel amidst ongoing regional tensions.
