Main challenges facing Syria
By Omar Al-Saleh
Syria now has at least four main challenges:
Building a unifying national identity, as it is a country with diverse people from mixed religions, ethnicities and sects – and from opposing political backgrounds.
Security, both internally and externally. Remnants of the former regime are instigating unrest in the coastal region. Ethnic violence is a real threat, and Israeli strikes backing the Druze are a huge challenge.
