The Syrian Arab Republic has returned to the League of Arab States, after its membership was suspended in 2011 in response to the government's suppression of pro-democracy protests in the country.
Nevertheless, we find that in recent years, there has been a growing movement to rehabilitate Syria with the aim of returning it to the institutions of the Arab world again. This movement is led by several Arab countries that have worked to restore diplomatic relations with the Syrian government.
On the other hand, the United States and other Western states criticized these efforts, arguing that they reward Assad for his “brutal” campaign against the opposition and the prolongation of the Syrian civil war. Nevertheless, the League of Arab States moved towards re-accepting Syria, as the Secretary-General of the Organization, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, previously stated that “Syria’s return to the Arab League is inevitable, and it will happen sooner or later.”
The future of the Syrian regime
In this context, the future of the Syrian regime remains uncertain, as the country was devastated by a civil war that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and the displacement of millions of others. The Assad regime has also been accused of committing war crimes, and this last point is likely to play a role in shaping the future of the regime, i.e. by the outcome of the war.
If the Assad regime is able to maintain its grip on power, it is likely to face a number of challenges. The country is deeply divided and the regime will need to find a way to reconcile with its opponents. The country will also need to rebuild the infrastructure and economy that have been devastated by the war.
If the opposite happens and the regime is not able to maintain its grip, it is not clear what will happen next, as the country could descend into chaos, or it could be taken over by one of the many armed groups fighting the regime, or Syria could also be divided into smaller states. Despite the changes, the future of Syria remains uncertain, but it is clear that the country faces a number of challenges and Assad needs to find a way to address them if he is to survive.
However, the Saudi-Iranian agreement was likely to have a positive impact on Syria’s chances of returning to the Arab League, as the agreement helped ease tensions between Riyadh and Tehran, two of the main regional powers influencing the region, and created a more conducive environment for dialogue and cooperation between Arab countries and Syria.
In addition, the agreement led to a number of other positive developments in the region, such as the opening of embassies and the restoration of diplomatic relations with the Syrian government, which is an important step after many years of withdrawing ambassadors from Damascus in 2011 following the outbreak of protests in the country.
The Saudi-Iranian agreement is still in its early stages, and it is too early to determine its long-term impact. Nevertheless, it is clear that the agreement created a more positive atmosphere in the region. In the international realm, Syria faced a number of challenges in rejoining the international community, including but not limited to the ongoing civil war that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and displaced millions of others, as well as widespread destruction of infrastructure and economic activity. Until the war ends once and for all, it may be difficult for Syria to join the international community.
The civil war has created a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions. Millions of people need food, water, shelter and medical care. The international community is providing humanitarian aid to Syria, but more needs to be done. The civil war also created a refugee crisis, as millions of Syrians fled the country in search of refuge in neighboring countries and Europe. The refugee crisis puts pressure on the resources of neighboring countries and creates political tensions in Europe.
The Assad regime is widely seen as responsible for the civil war and humanitarian crisis. The regime is accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and it may be unlikely that the international community is willing to accept Syria's return to the international order until the Assad regime is removed from power.
These are just some of the challenges that Syria faces in returning to the League of Arab States and the international community, which may lead to a complex and difficult process, but it is necessary for the future of Syria and the region.
