After the fall of President Bashar Assad in Syria, nations have intensified contact efforts with the new rulers of Syria. UN Special Envoy to Syria Geir Pedersen was one of those who reached the Syrian capital, where he stressed on 'justice and accountability for crimes'. Geir Pedersen said, we need to ensure that this happens through a credible justice system, and there is no revenge against us.
UN envoy Geir Pedersen visited Damascus. During this time he said that we hope that the sanctions will end soon so that we can really see a solidarity to build Syria.
Preparations have been made to meet the rebel leader
At the same time, the rebels' Telegram channel is saying that they met rebel leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani. A delegation from Qatar also reached Syria to meet transitional government officials.
Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman told the emirate's official news agency that he has reaffirmed the Gulf emirate's full commitment to supporting the Syrian people following the success of the revolution. Qatar's embassy is set to resume operations on Tuesday, 13 years after it was closed during the early stages of the anti-government uprising.
America is in contact with HTS
The US and other countries have declared the rebel group a terrorist organization. Blinken is the first US leader to publicly confirm contact between the Joe Biden administration and the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). US Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed that US officials are in contact with the Syrian rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which has ousted the Assad government.
France is also taking initiative
French caretaker Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said a diplomatic team was due to arrive in Damascus on Tuesday to “reoccupy our real estate as well as establish initial contacts with the new authorities.”
Islamist-led rebels in Syria ousted President Bashar al-Assad from Moscow, ending decades of brutal rule.
