The Baath Party, once a dominant force in the Arab world, has been reduced to a dwindling memory of its former rule, running down its legacy in Syria in the face of the Assad regime's demise. Syria must learn from Iraq's de-Baathification process to avoid repeating the mistakes that led to institutional collapse and sectarian violence. The path forward for Syria requires inclusivity, justice, and a vision for shared prosperity, prioritizing the reform of state institutions and rebuilding governance structures. The challenges are immense, with millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance and the urgent need for comprehensive governance reforms and inclusive recovery plans. Accountability, economic reconstruction, and international cooperation are crucial for Syria's healing and stability. Preserving Syria's territorial integrity and promoting unity are nonnegotiable for a stable and prosperous future. The global community, particularly key regional actors, must support Syria's transition towards a cohesive and hopeful future.
