Statement from HTS
Statement No. (1) In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful O free sons of Syria, After many years of injustice, tyranny and oppression, and after great sacrifices made by the sons and daughters of this dear country, we announce today to the great Syrian people and to the entire world that the regime of Bashar al-Assad has fallen, and that he has fled the country, leaving behind a legacy of destruction and suffering. On this historic day, we declare that the revolutionary and opposition forces have taken control of our beloved Syria, and we affirm our commitment to building a free, just, and democratic state in which all citizens are equal without discrimination. We pledge before God and before the people to the following:
- Preserving the unity and sovereignty of Syrian lands.
- Protecting all citizens and their property, regardless of their affiliation.
- Work to rebuild the state and its institutions on the foundations of freedom and justice.
- Striving to achieve comprehensive national reconciliation, and returning refugees and displaced persons to their homes in safety and dignity.
- Holding everyone who committed crimes against the Syrian people accountable, in accordance with the law and justice.
We call on all the Syrian people to unite and join hands at this historical stage, and we affirm that the new Syria will not be limited to anyone, but rather a homeland for all. Long live free and proud Syria! May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. National Transitional Council Damascus, on 08.12.2024
