• Syria remains shut off and in ruins following a brutal civil war that began in 2011.
• There is social dismemberment and a generation marked by the temptation of exile.
• Bashar Al-Assad, with support from Iran and Russia, holds power but does not yet control the entire territory.
• Sanctions imposed by the West, especially the U.S., maintain the country in an economic blockade.
• The Syrian regime plays a negative role in synthetic drug trafficking in the region.
• The symbolic reintegration of Syria in the Arab League in 2023 has not changed the situation of the country.
• There is global fatigue, especially of host countries of Syrian refugees.

Conclusion: Despite the end of the civil war, Syria is far from being a safe and stable country, it still faces significant issues of sovereignty, rebuilding, and forced displacement.
