Syria, due to its unique geopolitical position and its location at the center of political, security, and military developments in Western Asia, plays a key role in maintaining the balance of power in the region. The existence of a strong and powerful government in Syria and the preservation of the country's unity are essential to preventing the formation of a power vacuum, which is a prerequisite for effective governance. The absence of these factors can quickly lead to insecurity and instability in the country, fueled by ethnic, religious, and political differences.
The power vacuum in Syria provides an opportunity for separatist, ethnic, and religious groups to pursue their demands through violence. The formation of these groups, which can lead to the disintegration of Syria, will alter the regional balance and have consequences, including increased tensions between regional powers and the spread of insecurity and instability.
Recent events in Syria, including the widespread attacks by the terrorist group Tahrir al-Sham on the country's northern provinces, have undoubtedly been planned and directed by regional and trans-regional currents that benefit from instability in the region. These events have once again highlighted the critical importance of stability in Syria for the security of the entire region, after five years of relative calm.
One of the main reasons for the complexity of the crisis in Syria over the past decade has been the intervention of foreign powers to create instability in the region and pave the way for their presence and role in the political and security developments of Western Asia.
In recent years, the rapid growth and development of takfiri terrorist groups, which act as proxy armies for the United States and some regional countries, have led to the creation of insecurity and instability in Syria and Iraq, resulting in the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people and causing billions of dollars in damage to the critical infrastructure of both countries.
The impact of the presence and activities of takfiri terrorist groups has not been limited to Iraq and Syria, but has also had significant effects on other countries in the region and even some European countries.
Recent experiences have shown that creating instability and insecurity in Syria can quickly transfer tensions from the heart of the Middle East to other countries in the region and the world, leading to instability.
The effects of instability in Syria are not limited to security consequences, but will also harm other areas, especially the economy of the country and its neighboring countries. The destruction of infrastructure, reduction of economic activities, increase in unemployment, and widespread migration are among the economic consequences of war and insecurity in Syria, which will also affect neighboring countries.
The creation of insecurity on Syria's borders with neighboring countries will not only facilitate the absorption and organization of terrorist elements, but also facilitate other criminal activities such as arms smuggling, drug trafficking, and more.
Recent experience has shown that Syria's stability is a necessity for the security of the entire region. Ignoring this issue can have very dangerous consequences for all countries in the region. The international community, especially regional countries, must think ahead and put aside short-term interests to stand together against the implementation of tension-creating policies of other countries, and by supporting the establishment of peace and stability in Syria, prevent the development of terrorism in the region.
