Formation of a New State in Syria
The recent overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria has initiated a crucial phase of state formation, as opposition leaders and remaining government workers work to establish a new governance system. This effort involves restoring some semblance of normalcy, such as securing borders and regulating trade to ensure stability. In Dara province, fighters have taken on roles at border checkpoints, using rudimentary methods like photographing IDs to facilitate travel and commerce in the absence of established systems. The enthusiasm for this newfound freedom is palpable among the local population, many of whom see the collapse of the regime as the beginning of a democratic process after years of oppression.
