Fadel Abdulghany, director of the SNHR, said it will take a long time to ensure the smooth running of Syrian institutions and basic services.

“The fall of the criminal dictator Bashar al-Assad is a joy and happiness for almost all Syrians,” he told The New Humanitarian. “We have a lot of work, we have a lot of challenges, but a huge step has been taken now in our fight for democracy.”
