Syria Conducts First Cabinet Shake-Up Since Assad Ouster
Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced the first government reshuffle since Bashar al-Assad’s 2024 ouster, moving his brother from the presidential office and installing trusted allies to key posts, including a new information minister and an agriculture minister linked to the defence minister’s family; several provincial governors were replaced as Syria seeks to rebuild state structures amid economic hardship, while Assad-era officials face trials as part of transitional justice efforts.
