Syria's new transitional prime minister seeks stability after Assad's ousting

Mohammed al-Bashir has been appointed as Syria's transitional prime minister by Islamist-led rebels, following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad. He aims to establish stability and calm while governing until March 2025. Bashir, previously head of the rebel administration in north-west Syria, held a meeting in Damascus with former Assad officials to discuss the transition of government functions. The U.S. has expressed support for a future Syrian government that is inclusive and respects minority rights. Life in Damascus is gradually returning to normal after recent unrest. The UN envoy emphasized the need for broad representation in the new government to avoid further conflict, while the U.S. outlined conditions for recognizing the new administration.
