Syria is limping back to normalcy after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
Students returned to classrooms in Syria on Sunday after the country’s new rulers ordered to reopen schools.
The country’s new de facto leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa, has a massive challenge at hand to rebuild Syria after 13 years of civil war.
Cities were bombed to ruins, the economy was gutted by international sanctions and millions of refugees still live in camps outside Syria.
As per official sources, most schools were opening around the country on Sunday, which is the first day of the working week in most Arab countries.
However, some parents were apprehensive about sending their children to school given the uncertain situation.
In some classrooms, students were seen pasting the new flag on the walls.
As Syria starts trying to rebuild, its neighbours and other foreign powers are still working out a new stance on the country, a week after the collapse of the Assad government that was backed by Iran and Russia.
Top diplomats from the United States, Turkey, the European Union and Arab nations met in Jordan on Saturday and agreed that a new government in Syria should respect minority rights, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
