Syria on the ground: Can the new leadership revive the economy?

After almost 14 years of bloody civil war, the Syrian economy is in ruins! The destruction is all-encompassing: oil and gas sources, streets, power grids, agricultural areas and the entire infrastructure are seriously damaged. An economic disaster that puts people in Syria in a desperate location!

But that's not all! The Situation is still exacerbated by a variety of western sanctions that were imposed against the country and the dominant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. This group has overthrew Bashar al-Assad and now leads the transition of Syria. The new government emphasizes that the abolition of these sanctions is crucial for the reconstruction of the country. But the big question remains: are these sanctions actually lifted?

The challenges of the new leadership

The new Syrian leadership faces huge challenges. The destruction of the economy is not only a slap in the face for the government, but also for the entire population that suffers from the consequences. The hope of improvement seems to be a long way off, while people are fighting for their survival every day.

In addition to the internal problems, the Syrian economy is also influenced by external factors. The Ukraine conflict has stopped Russia's gas rivers to Europe, which further exacerbates the already tense situation. The dependence on foreign energy deliveries is another obstacle on the way to economic recovery.

A look at the future

The new Syrian administration has big plans, but without the support of the international community, the reconstruction becomes an almost impossible undertaking. The question remains: Will the western countries be ready to loosen their sanctions and give Syria an opportunity for reconstruction? Time will show it, but the watch ticks for the people in Syria who hope for a turn in their fate.

In the meantime, the situation in Syria is an urgent appeal to the world to stand up for people who suffer from the devastating consequences of a long war. The challenges are enormous, but hope for a better future remains as long as people don't give up!
