Syrian President Blames Civilian Massacres on ‘Remnants of the Assad Regime’ Backed by External Parties
Damascus — Syrian President Ahmad Al-Shar’a on Monday has accused elements of the former Assad regime, allegedly supported by external actors, of being responsible for recent civilian massacres in the country.
In a strong-worded speech, President Al-Shar’a reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to justice, national unity, and the rule of law, vowing to hold perpetrators accountable.
“We will not tolerate the remnants of the Assad regime who have attacked civilians, hospitals, security forces, and security centers”, President Al-Shar’a declared. “The only option left for those remnants is to surrender to the law immediately”.
The president’s remarks come at a crucial time as Syria seeks to rebuild from years of conflict and ensure accountability for past crimes. He stressed that justice will be served without leniency for individuals involved in civilian bloodshed, abuses of power, or corruption.
“No one will be above the law. Anyone whose hands are stained with the blood of Syrians will face justice”, he asserted.
President Al-Shar’a condemned any attempts to sow division or interfere in Syria’s internal affairs. He reiterated that Syria, with all its diverse communities, remains united and resilient against foreign intervention.
“We criminalize any call or appeal that seeks to interfere in the affairs of our country or incite discord or division”, he said. “Syria, with all its components, will remain united. We will not allow any party to undermine our national unity or disrupt civil peace”.
The president also pledged to engage with families from the Syrian coast to hear their concerns and testimonies regarding past violations, ensuring that justice is served for those affected by the conflict.
“Syria will remain resilient, and we will not allow foreign forces to divide our country”, he concluded.
