In a pre-recorded speech played at the conference, SDF Commander-in-Chief, Mazloum Abdi, stressed that stopping Turkey's aggression towards NES remained a key factor, and urged the Syrian Caretaker Government to also intervene on the matter.
The second was future-oriented, considering paths ahead for constructing a new political system and Syrian constitution. This included debate on what kind of democratic framework could protect the rights of all & strengthen the role of women in the socio-political sphere.
Within the various topics raised in discussion, decentralization of the state, national identity, social cohesion, transitional justice and accountability for war crimes committed featured prominently.
The conference was divided into two sessions. The first had a historical framework. Speakers touched on the repercussions of nation-state building efforts in Syria's past, and the social tensions and political crises that had emerged in the past 100 years inside the country.
Yesterday, the Syrian Forum for National Dialogue was held in Raqqa.
250 people convened, including politicians, civil society reps, activists and tribal figures from NES, Aleppo, Damascus, Suwayda and Syria's coast. There was also participation from Syrians living in Europe.
The Future Syria Party also stated that "a lack of genuine inclusivity" at the conference raised wider concerns about how much the voices of all Syrians would be accounted for in decision-making processes further down the line for the building of the new Syria.
The Kurdish National Council also criticized a "selective and individual invitation process, devoid of clear criteria ensuring balanced representation of Syria's diverse political and ethnic forces, including the Kurdish political movement".
