Syria's Perilous Dawn: A Call for Hope and Action

The world breathed a collective sigh of relief when news broke that Syria’s brutal fourteen-year civil war was over. The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship felt like the long-awaited dawn after a dark and bloody night. Yet, our new report reveals, this new day is perilous, especially for the ancient religious and ethnic minorities who call Syria home. While the new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, presents a moderate face to the West, the facts on the ground tell a story of escalating violence and fear. This is not a time for naive optimism, but for principled action and determined hope.

Syria's New Chapter

Today One Free World International (OFWI) is releasing a urgent report “Syria’s New Chapter: A Perilous Dawn for Minorities Under Al-Sharaa's Rule.”

Western governments, however, have decided that it is in their interests to support al-Sharaa. OFWI believes that this is a serious mistake and al-Sharaa’s claimed moderation is a mere tactical position. As a result, this report puts forward several recommendations to support minorities in Syria and hold al-Sharaa and his authorities accountable.

To realize a secure Syria that upholds human rights for all of its citizens, OFWI is offering the following recommendations:

A Free Iran The Only Path to Global Security

We need to face a hard truth: as long as the people of Iran are repressed and live under the tyranny of the Islamic theocrats, there will be no peace in the Middle East, no end to terrorism, and no real security for the world.

Embracing Syria's New President At Our Peril

By Majed El Shafie, OFWI.org

If an Al Qaeda and ISIS warlord overthrew your government, would you want the US President to legitimize them? This week, while meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince, US President Donald Trump welcomed Syria’s new President with open arms and told the world the United States was abandoning its values in global affairs.

New Syrian President Signals Renewed Cycle of Death

After spending years fighting against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the same people driven by the same hateful extremist Islamic ideology are back and forming the new government in Syria. The US and EU have already started easing sanctions on Syria with exemptions and are enabling President Ahmed al-Sharaa to consolidate power without any guarantees for democratic reform or human rights.
