Syria has entered a new and more complex phase, moving from full-scale civil war toward peacebuilding, according to Taha Elgazi, General Director of the Syrian Center for Education and Research [232902]. He called the current moment “a real opportunity” for change that did not exist in previous years, but cautioned that the situation remains highly fragile and brings its own set of challenges [232902].

In the northeastern city of Hasakah, the Syrian government has begun reorganizing security and administration under the Ministry of Interior [232878]. On September 1, hundreds of internal security personnel entered the city as part of this move [232878]. Kurdish sources acknowledge that integration is progressing, but stress that the future of local rights and self-governance remains unclear [232878].

The developments come as officials and researchers alike question whether the country is prepared for what peace actually requires [232890]. Peace, as one researcher put it, is not a finish line but a process that demands preparation and commitment [232890].
