The Spin
Narrative A
This is a new phase in Syria's journey, a declaration to build a new state, and a significant step toward national unity and stability. By incorporating diverse ethnic and religious groups under strong leadership through the transitional period, Syria has shown commitment to inclusive governance and institutional reform.
Narrative B
Al-Sharaa's inner circle maintains centralized power over the cabinet, and his allies hold key security portfolios. The absence of a prime minister and limited female representation raise concerns about the government's intention to rebuild state institutions based on accountability and transparency or genuine power-sharing and democratic transition.
