HISTORICAL: Syria inaugurates new government after half a century of dictatorship

Syria has taken a historic turn after half a century of dictatorship.

Interim President Ahmed al-Shara has announced the formation of a committee of experts charged with drafting a draft constitutional declaration for the country's transition phase.

The overthrow of Bashar al-Assad marks the end of one of the longest-running dictatorships in the Middle East and opens the door to an uncertain future, but one with possibilities for democratisation.

The new government has assured that it will work on a roadmap to guarantee stability and reconstruction after years of devastating conflict.

The first measures of the transitional government include the release of political prisoners, the re-establishment of diplomatic relations with the international community and the creation of an independent body to oversee the transition process.

Meanwhile, Western powers and countries in the region are closely watching developments in Syria, evaluating possible support for the transition. However, uncertainty remains about how the process will evolve and whether a lasting peace will be achieved in a country marked by war and instability.
