The Syrian Future Movement is following with great interest President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s visit to Deir ez-Zor Governorate on Friday, May 8, 2026, accompanied by a ministerial delegation, to assess the humanitarian and field situation in the governorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, the Syrian Future Movement is following with grave concern the serious humanitarian and service-related developments resulting from the significant rise in the water level of the Euphrates River since May 27, 2026, and the direct threat this poses to the lives, homes, agricultural lands, and property of civilians in the Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor governorates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement believes that President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s visit to Deir ez-Zor, accompanied by a specialized ministerial delegation, embodies the state’s active presence and its awareness of its responsibilities towards citizens in the most difficult circumstances. It also highly values \u200b\u200bthis on-the-ground attention, which was demonstrated through discussions of urgent humanitarian needs and emergency response plans on the ground. The Syrian Future Movement also commends the efforts of the Syrian Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, including issuing early warnings, raising preparedness levels, and implementing field measures to protect civilians and infrastructure. We believe that the Ministry’s intervention in this crisis is a responsible step in the right direction that should be supported and strengthened with all available resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement appreciates President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s ethical and reformist stance following his father’s statements on May 20, 2016, which prompted the President to make a phone call to prominent figures and dignitaries of the province. The Syrian Future Movement believes that the public apology and the strengthening of the bond between the state and its citizens constitute a new approach to dealing with individual errors and inappropriate remarks. This fosters a culture of transparency and accountability and lays the foundation for a political phase based on acknowledging and rectifying mistakes\u2014principles that the Syrian Future Movement has championed since its founding in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement strongly warns against attempts to exploit the delicate transitional phase to incite sedition and inflame regional and sectarian tensions. The Syrian Future Movement reiterates its categorical rejection of any rhetoric that incites violence or division, calling for dialogue as the sole means of resolving disputes and confronting any attempt to exploit these events to destabilize national security through a comprehensive security plan that enforces the rule of law and thwarts anyone seeking to drag Syria backward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Syrian Future Movement emphasizes the necessity of transforming this humanitarian crisis into an opportunity to rebuild and strengthen the state. In this context, it reaffirms the following fundamental principles, previously announced in its official statements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement reiterates its firm demand for the formation of an “independent transitional justice body” to address the current state of tension, which exacerbates the situation and creates an opportunity for exploitation by forces that do not want Syria to emerge from its crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement also emphasizes the necessity for the upcoming elections and the formation of new governments to be transparent, fair, and inclusive, as outlined in the “Syrian Future Movement Annual Report” for 2025, while ensuring that affected areas receive their fair share of development and reconstruction programs to compensate for their past marginalization and neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement salutes the resilience of the people of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa, who are confronting this catastrophe with their lives and property. We remind all parties that the transitional phase will only succeed with the courage to engage in self-reflection, apologize for mistakes, and prioritize the nation’s best interests above all other considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Syrian Future Movement also calls on the Syrian government to immediately redouble its relief efforts, establish a timeline for compensating those affected, and launch agricultural development programs and infrastructure rehabilitation initiatives in the eastern Euphrates basin to ensure that this tragedy is not repeated in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Syrian Future Movement is closely following President Ahmed al-Sharaa\u2019s visit to Deir ez-Zor and the important discussions that resulted from it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":64519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179,4688],"tags":[4706],"class_list":["post-64521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-political-office-en","category-presidency-office-en","tag-press-release"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
