Introduction:

No sooner had the Syrian regime and its various mouthpieces—politicians and commentators alike—finished raising their "victory" signs upon the return of their "mighty rock" Bashar al-Assad to the fold of the Arab League, triumphantly proclaiming the defeat of the conspiracy at the feet of their tyrannical system, than voices began to rise from the very streets once considered loyal to them. 

These voices quickly ended the artificial celebration and drew the final curtain on a 12-act play, announcing a new, explosive season—this time led by the people of Syria themselves: from the mountains to the plains and the coast. 

These are the people who have been scorched by corruption and crushed by poverty, and for whom silence is no longer an option. 

In Assad’s Syria, life and death have become indistinguishable.

Today, the heart of the Syrian revolution beats once again in the southern plains of Daraa, reviving the chants of children who, twelve years ago, scrawled “Leave!” on their school walls.

Their voices now echo through the mountains of Suwayda, where the Druze elders are listening intently and have stirred the Alawite coast into a roaring cry of anger, warning, and defiance.

Indeed, we can now say it with full conviction: All of Syria is a revolution—Sunnis and Arabs, Druze and Alawites, Kurds, Turkmens, Circassians, Christians, and Jews—united in pursuit of a single goal: liberation from a corrupt regime. 

The unbearable pressure placed on the Syrian citizen has given rise to a collective awakening across the country. 

The people have identified their adversary and aimed their arrows at the heart of the regime—arrows crafted in the very birthplace of both Assad the son and Assad the father—and today, they have struck a deadly blow.

Yes, Syria suffers from corruption on both sides—the regime and the opposition. 

Yet we firmly believe that overthrowing Assad and his suffocating regime is the first and most critical step toward ridding ourselves of the opposition’s opportunists—those “revolutionary vampires” who have become a mirror of the very system they claim to oppose. 

Fate now seems to align for a comprehensive change, with the jaws of the revolution’s pliers closing in from north and south, ready to crush the corrupt and the exploiters on both fronts.

Can we Succeed Inside Regime-Controlled Areas?

We are not dreamers lost in illusions. 

Our optimism is measured by the pulse of the people. 

But we can confidently say that the decaying body of the regime no longer has the immunity to withstand those it once labeled “germs.” 

If proof is needed, consider its blindness and arrogance as it recently claimed on Sky News that those who once took to the streets by the hundreds of thousands never exceeded 100,000!

The revolution that erupted in 2011 when Assad had near-total control of the country and manipulated it under the veil of national sovereignty—only to cloak it in foreign-made disguises meant to distort its identity—that same revolution will not be stopped in 2023 when Assad can barely control his palace. 
His army and intelligence services, though still loyal by night, prostitute themselves openly by day—selling out here and there for survival.

Perhaps Assad no longer holds the decision to step down in his own hands. Ironically, the same parliamentary hall that once amended the constitution in 2000 to make him president of the "Syrian Arab Republic" might now be the stage where his rule is officially ended. 
We say this not out of fantasy, but because the signs are emerging from the increasingly volatile streets.

What Do We Ask of Syrians in Regime-Controlled Areas?

Truthfully, we demand nothing. None of us outside the country has the right to demand anything of those within. 

What we do know, with absolute certainty, is that the Syrian people—whether in 2011 or 2023—did not rise at anyone’s command (despite the regime's propaganda). 

It was a spontaneous eruption, uncontainable, unpredictable, unstoppable. And it remains a revolution in motion, ebbing and flowing, but not fading until its goals are fulfilled.

We urge the wise within Syria to re-read the scene through a precise, Syrian lens, and to learn from the missteps of the 2011 revolution to avoid falling into the regime’s renewed traps. 

This will ensure the continuity of a people’s uprising against entrenched corruption and injustice—an uprising that leaves no room for silence or complicity among those of sound mind and conscience.

We reject the misleading labels some now attach to the revolution. It is not a hunger revolt, nor merely a reaction to international sanctions. 

It is not a “second revolution,” or a mere outburst. 

It is a people’s revolution, continuing since 2011—a revolution of those who remain trapped in a homeland they cannot leave, unlike the millions who fled. 

These Syrians have chosen to remain, suffering in bitter silence, refusing to sever their last thread of belonging. 

They now stand at a crossroads, choosing country over regime, and people over a one-man rule.

What Do We Ask of Syrians Outside Regime-Controlled Areas?

We call upon our people in the liberated regions to rekindle the flame of the original revolution, by reactivating the popular base—through awareness campaigns, national festivals, and unifying speeches that rally everyone around the revolution’s goals. 

Let us move beyond petty divisions to focus on Syria’s just and righteous cause.

We also advocate for the formation of a grassroots revolutionary national front, built from within, composed of genuine parties and patriotic forces still active inside Syria. 

This front should issue a unified declaration in support of all individual and collective efforts in regime-held areas aimed at national unity and the preservation of citizens’ rights—based on citizenship, not sectarian or ethnic identity. 

These very divisions, once used by the regime to survive the storm of revolution, must no longer be our chains.

What Do We Ask of Syrians Abroad?

We call upon Syrians living abroad to continue supporting their loved ones inside Syria, both in regime areas and outside, with whatever means available. 

This is a moral, social, humanitarian, and religious duty. 

Even a kind word or emotional support can stabilize spirits, uplift morale, and sharpen ideas—ensuring active participation in the advanced state of awareness we have all reached together, after twelve seasons of spring and fall.

No Syrian household, inside or outside, has been spared from erosion and loss. 

But this shared suffering has allowed us to recalibrate our collective clock toward a new starting point—one where opposition and loyalty, appeasement, and compromise, all give way to Syria’s supreme national interest, above all else.
