On December 8, 2024, during a final offensive against power, the rebels put an end to the bloodth century regime in the world. For more than five decades, the Assad family regime has been resulted in nearly a million dead and several dozen refugees, tortured and moved. Worse, the regime has largely used weapons of war to suppress the Syrian people until they resort to chemical weapons, especially on August 21, 2013 during an attack on infinite violence against demonstrators in Eastern Ghouta, near Damascus.
All international surveys agree and claim that the Syrian regime used the torture and neutralization of human rights activists. Yes, the regime of Bashar al-Assad actually transformed Syria into a most terrifying civilian bombing theater of the 21st century and a real open-air slaughterhouse. Basically, the genesis of this uprising takes its first breath during the Arab Spring in order to claim free, democratic and pluralist Syria.
However, today, with the advent of the new leader Ahmad al-Charaa, other black clouds seem to be praising on Syria. Former member of the Islamic State and Al-Qaida, who had taken the lead in the Al-Nosra Front who had threatened France and committed abject crimes, which leaves that little hope of seeing free, democratic and respectful Syria of women.
This, under the complicity of the President of the Republic who hastened to invite the new contested leader Ahmad al-Charaa to the Élysée Palace, a fortiori before the organization by France of the International Conference for Syria on February 13, 2025 in Paris. However, this symbolic invitation and without any guarantee in favor of a democratic and free future for the Syrians, constitutes a real political fault which alters the image of France and still weakens our diplomacy a little more.
“There is an emergency”
In addition, if France has oscillated between strategic rapprochements and mediations in the conflicts of the region, the fall of Bashar al-Assad must, above all, be an opportunity to wonder about complex relations or ambiguous between France and Syria not to make the mistakes of the past.
The first duty of French diplomacy is to consolidate the Syrian revolution by honoring its foundations
In doing so, in the matter, Emmanuel Macron seems to have once again had the “at the same time” policy as a compass. On the one hand, the President of the Republic bore the defense of our values in the Syrian regime in particular under martial declarations.
As such, during his wishes to the diplomatic corps of January 4, 2018 the President of the Republic declared: “Saying this, I consider that we have to get out of moral postures which sometimes helplessly but that we must also get out of concessions made to certain powers which think that in a few, recognizing part of an opposition designated from the outside, they could settle in a stable and lasting way the situation in Syria. »»
However, at the same time, the Head of State worked to decorate relatives of the Syrian regime participating, in certain respects, at least indirectly to, on the contrary, credibility the entourage of the regime. Like Mr. Ammar Abd Rabbo, official photographer of the Bashar al-Assad regime and close dignitary of the fallen dictator who, by order of September 25, 2017 appointing and promoting in the order of arts and letters, was made knights of the arts and letters.
This, while the latter himself recognized his proximity to the power of Bashar al-Assad and, consequently, his involvement, both internally in the dissemination of the regime’s propaganda, and on the international level by participating in the diplomatic trips of the former Syrian president.
So much so that many intellectuals and journalists today wonder about the relevance of the conservation of such honorary decorations which engage the values of our country and its credibility on the diplomatic level.
Obviously, all of these facts are not likely to pay the best tribute to the Syrian revolution which has worked for 13 years against and against everything in the whole world in a dignity which forces admiration. While the first duty of French diplomacy is, above all, to consolidate the Syrian revolution by honoring its foundations, namely thirst for freedom, democratic requirement and the necessary guarantee of human rights. There is an emergency.
