Syrien: Aktuelle politische Situation + ihre Hintergründe

Kassioun Editorial 1250: Admitting a Mistake is a Virtue... Reversing It is an Even Greater Virtue!
The recently announced decision to raise electricity prices by the Ministry of Energy was nothing less than an explicit declaration of moving in the exact opposite direction of the interests of Syrians. It is a continuation of a methodology that facts have repeatedly proven leads only to ruin: raising prices before genuinely raising wages, and burdening the poor with the cost of what has been destroyed by flawed policies accumulated over decades, which continue today.
Any step of this kind, taken before finding an actual solution to the problem of low wages and the weak purchasing power of Syrians, can only be described as a new gamble with the already fragile social stability in Syria. When the cost of electricity during a single billing cycle exceeds the official minimum wage, it simply means that electricity is no longer a public service, but rather a commodity reserved only for the well-off. It means that the vast majority of Syrians—over 90% of whom live below the poverty line—will be forcibly pushed toward further marginalization and darkness.
The methodology behind the decision is even more dangerous than the decision itself. The economic situation continues to be managed with a simplistic, narrow-minded numerical logic that only recreates the same vicious cycle: the state raises prices under the pretext of covering its accumulated deficit—which is the result of both past and current economic policies that have drained non-inflationary sources of revenue in various ways—leading to weakened demand, further production paralysis, increased deficit once again, and yet another round of price hikes, always taken from the pockets of the poor Syrians.
It is important to note that any partial reversal of this decision would be merely an illusory step—just a cosmetic price reduction under the pressure of growing public and media anger—while the core problem remains unchanged. This tactic would allow the next move to be presented as a “response to people’s demands”, while in reality it would just solidify the pre-planned pricing step by step. Therefore, a “real reversal” means completely repealing the decision, not rephrasing it with new numbers.
Fully rolling back the mistake is not a weakness—it is a political and patriotic virtue. Acknowledging this mistake marks the beginning of the path toward changing a destructive economic course that can no longer tolerate patching or postponement. Raising prices before raising wages to a level that covers basic living needs is like building a roof before laying the foundation—the inevitable result is collapse over everyone’s heads.
What is needed today is not the “adjustment of tariffs” that shocked and angered Syrians, but a complete reversal of the decision and a change in the failed methodology of the collapsed authority that has continued to place the burden on those who have nothing, while offering generous exemptions and privileges to those who have everything.
The desired economy in Syria cannot be built by imposing new hardships on the Syrian people, but through a radical transformation of the wage system and fair distribution of national wealth. The past decades have proven that any “reform” that starts from people’s pockets will only lead to greater poverty, division, and security risks. Therefore, the only patriotic step possible today is a full reversal of the decision, and the opening of a public debate about subsidy and wage policies, as a national issue tied to the survival of Syrians living together on one land.

Kassioun Editorial 1251: Resolution 2799 – Syria Under Chapter VII!
Last Thursday, November 6, 2025, the UN Security Council adopted a new resolution on Syria, numbered 2799 (2025), which removed the transitional president Ahmad al-Sharaa and Minister of Interior Anas Khattab from the terrorism lists, and — for the first time — explicitly placed Syria under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.
Although the final text of the resolution had not yet been published on the official UN website at the time of writing, the official news release confirmed that the resolution was decided under Chapter VII, and that it reaffirmed the necessity of implementing a number of previous resolutions, foremost among them UNSC Resolution 2254 (2015).
According to information released so far, the resolution also includes a number of operative provisions, such as:
> Affirming Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
> Continuing the fight against ISIS and al-Qaeda, and emphasizing the need for the interim government’s cooperation in that effort.
> Continuing to address the issue of foreign fighters.
> Requiring the interim government to pursue a comprehensive, Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political process, with the participation of all Syrians regardless of sect, religion, or ethnicity.
Issuing a new UN Security Council resolution on Syria — specifically under Chapter VII — fundamentally reflects the following points:
First: It indicates that the crisis in Syria remains ongoing and deep, and that there has not yet been success in neutralizing or reducing foreign interference.
Second: It shows that the crisis has not only persisted but has also grown more complex and dangerous, as demonstrated by its increasing internationalization — reaching the highest possible level with the invocation of Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which opens the door for “the international community” to resort to military intervention should the required commitments not be fulfilled.
Third: The procrastination of the previous authority and their practical refusal to implement UNSC Resolution 2254 did not lead to its annulment or neutralization — rather, it led to its own demise, while the resolution itself remained on the table. Today, too, the delay in implementing the essence of the resolution over the past 11 months has not nullified it; instead, it has led to a new resolution under Chapter VII, which reaffirms UNSC Resolution 2254 and thereby places it, in legal terms, under Chapter VII as well. Meaning, the delay has raised the level of obligation to implement it.
The lesson to be drawn from the adoption of this new resolution is the same as that which should have been drawn from UNSC Resolution 2254: Every delay in achieving a comprehensive political solution based on genuine participation of the Syrian people in determining their own destiny — through political consensus, national dialogue, and a general national conference — will only further increase internationalization, expand foreign interventions, and weaken all Syrian parties.
The situation today with UNSC Resolution 2799 is, in essence, the same as it was with 2254: although the major powers agreed on its text (with the difference that China abstained from voting this time rather than approving, a significant indication), each had its own motives and vision regarding it — and some among them never intended for it to be implemented at all.
Nevertheless, the resolution represents a new opportunity for Syria and Syrians to reclaim control over their own affairs and to realize that Syria cannot be governed by the mentality of a “leading party” nor through domination or the victory of one segment of the people over another.
Syria can only be governed through the unification of Syrians based primarily on their shared socioeconomic interests — interests that unite the 90% who have been impoverished and exploited, belonging to all religions, ethnicities, and sects — forming a single front that serves as the solid foundation for Syria’s unity and stability, through a comprehensive political solution.
