Ahmed al-Sharaa: “I call on pro-government forces to avoid harming civilians or mistreating prisoners.”

I believe the world must not be complicit again in the killing of the Syrian people by slowing down or preventing the lifting of sanctions and preventing them from reconstructing their nation.

Pro-government forces must avoid harming civilians or mistreating prisoners.

The international community failed to deter the regime from using chemical weapons.

I urge armed groups still loyal to the former government to surrender their weapons.
