## Resource

Syria’s parliament has convened for the first time since Assad’s ouster, marking a historic leap toward rebuilding democracy after years of war and dictatorship. With 210 members—most elected, some appointed by interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa—they’ll serve 30 months, paving the way for future elections. Al-Sharaa urged lawmakers to unite behind rebuilding the state, signaling a decisive break from the past. The chamber swore in new members and elected Abdul Hamid al-Awak, a former judge and early rebel who fled to Turkey, as speaker—a symbolic rebuke to Assad’s regime and a hopeful sign of renewal. Now, the real test begins: can this body deliver stability and lay the groundwork for true democracy? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
