On the Ground: A Nation Reborn
From early morning, cities across Syria were alive with celebrations marking one year since the fall of former President Bashar al-Assad’s regime on December 8, 2024. Public squares, once inaccessible to Syrians, were filled with crowds as tears of triumph mingled with decades of memories of oppression. Despite ongoing internal challenges, the people celebrated the birth of a new state, recognized broadly by the international community.
Al-Sharaa Delivers “Promise of Reconstruction”
In a historic moment, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa spoke from the pulpit of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, presenting what he called the “Promise of Reconstruction” for the new republic.
With a tone full of emotion and determination, al-Sharaa addressed the crowd, connecting Syria’s rich history with its present challenges, and outlining a vision for rebuilding the country based on justice and support for the oppressed.
“We Will Restore It Strong”
Amid cheers and chants echoing through the mosque, al-Sharaa announced the start of a reconstruction initiative, emphasizing moral and spiritual rebuilding as a priority before physical reconstruction:
"We will restore it strong, befitting its present… We will rebuild it in a way that honors both its past and its present… With a reconstruction worthy of Syria’s ancient civilization."
