Everyone is watching, in hope and in the majesty, “the return” of Syria: from which Syria will you return? And to what Syria? The conditions, shapes and men have changed on the country, so that the landmarks were lost, the memory was lost, and Syria came out of the world regime only once, and was isolated within the significant economic, sterile, and backward margin. First in the phase of escape and barracks, and then in one family coup, and forever.
During these years, Damascus lost its regional economic size, and the size of the commercial classes diminished into a small group of outlaws on the beginnings of the law, and with it the number of the political class also decreased, in a very challenging and reckless manner of the conditions of the people, its life, and its baking, not to mention the ceiling that fell on the heads of millions, inside and outside Syria.
We began to hear now, day after day, Syria’s return to the membership of this organization and that, and the establishment of an reconstruction project from here and there. It returned in the fields of several language of dealing and exchange between ordinary and natural countries. But the road is long, and hard, between the logic of the statesman and its head, and the logic of Commander Rami Makhlouf, who collected an army of 150,000 fighters, and now he is looking for barracks that can accommodate them, and warehouses that accommodate their weapons.
It is not easy to return Syria and the mission of Sharia. And it depends on many issues: the most important of which is Lebanon; Before finding places for the Sahel army, there are about 2.5 million Syrian displaced people in Lebanon. I heard the number from a former security official.
The Arab countries known for assuming major responsibilities do not hide the extent of their interest in the Syrian “return” process. The most important thing in this regard was what President Donald Trump said about seeking a solution in Syria under the auspices of Prince Muhammad bin Salman.
What is going on in Syria is not a reconstruction, but rather a rebuilding. And restructuring. All of this is far from lengthy speeches and lessons in history similar to the style of Dervish.
