The celebrations, held in the capital, Damascus, were rich with symbolism of unity and renewal. The event was headlined by a large military parade organized by the authorities, which traversed the main arteries of the capital. The festivities drew large crowds that gathered in central squares to witness the commemorative events.
This first anniversary of the political transition is seen by both the government and citizens as a crucial turning point. After years of conflict, the celebrations represent a collective hope for the full restoration of peace and stability, as well as the start of national reconstruction efforts.
