Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights activist, Tawakkol Karman, described the demands for forming an inclusive government in Syria after the fall of Assad's regime as a ridiculous joke,
lacking any legitimacy or logic. She clarified that if there are any benefits to these calls, they are in delaying and sabotaging the transitional process.
On her official Facebook page, Karman mentioned that the leader of the new administration in Syria, Ahmad al-Sharaa, governs the country according to revolutionary legitimacy, representing the factions that brought down the regime of the fallen Bashar.
She added that what is needed now from him is to determine a reasonable transitional period to accomplish the necessary tasks required for the transition to constitutional legitimacy. Karman noted that this period has been set at four years, which is a reasonable duration for a country with such a devastating repressive legacy as Syria.
Karman pointed out that the duration of the transitional period could be slightly shorter or longer, but emphasized that what matters is the guarantee of freedom of expression, the right of everyone to organize politically and party-wise, and the freedom to engage in political activity in preparation for upcoming elections. She stressed that this should culminate in free and fair elections held under a new constitution, which will also be drafted and voted on during the transitional period.
Karman underscored that this is the only definitive proof of Ahmad al-Sharaa’s seriousness and his administration's credibility, asserting that a free and new Syria has just been born.
