Ahmad al-Chareh, Syria’s newly appointed leader, has pledged an inclusive government within three months, but many Syrians are skeptical about the timeline for institutional reconstruction. The international community is demanding assurances from the new authorities, particularly given concerns about their radical Islamist past. While al-Chareh emphasizes a commitment to national dialogue and diversity, doubts linger over the feasibility of elections, with some estimations suggesting a four-year wait. The populace remains wary, focusing on immediate governance rather than electoral processes in the wake of ongoing economic devastation.
