They claim it is another version of the so-called \u201calliance of minorities\u201d standing against Damascus\u2019s supposed \u201cSunni rule.\u201d Yet what these critics overlook is that everything about this conference undermines those myths. Instead, it represents a new way of practicing politics; one that seeks to transform Syria into a functioning state rather than leaving it mired in the swamp of failure it has endured for over five decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first striking feature of this conference lies in its very title. By cantering the notion of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">components<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it breaks sharply from the language of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">majorities and minorities<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that has dominated political discourse for at least fourteen years. Unlike the older framework, the idea of components includes both the majority groups and the minorities, placing them on equal footing. This language recognizes their existence, but more importantly, acknowledges their fears: whether those stem from threats of extermination, cultural erasure, or chronic marginalization. By treating all components as equals, the framework seeks to neutralize those fears and move them out of narrow sectarian trenches into a shared political space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seen this way, the very idea of \u2018components\u2019 challenges the meaning of \u201cminority\u201d altogether. A community ceases to be a minority the moment its existential fears are removed. As Hannah Arendt, the German-Jewish thinker, once wrote: \u201cIf\u00a0one is\u00a0attacked\u00a0as a\u00a0Jew, one\u00a0must defend\u00a0oneself as a\u00a0Jew.\u00a0Not\u00a0as a\u00a0German,\u00a0not\u00a0as a\u00a0world-citizen,\u00a0not\u00a0as an upholder of the\u00a0Rights\u00a0of Man.\u201d What the Damascus regime, and much of the opposition, too, has done is precisely the opposite: targeting people for what they were born as, not what they chose politically. The result, in the case of Syria\u2019s Druze for instance, was to push even secular activists into rallying around their religious identity in the face of threats of annihilation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/18\/08\/2025\/beyond-the-centres-control-damascus-clashes-with-emerging-voices-of-plurality\/#\">Beyond the Centre\u2019s Control: Damascus Clashes with Emerging Voices of Plurality<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By reframing the debate away from \u201cmajorities\u201d and \u201cminorities,\u201d the Hasakah Conference restored politics to Syria in a way that authoritarian rhetoric has long suffocated. After all, the notion of a non-political majority has no grounding in the history of states, ancient or modern. States have always belonged to individuals, not to collective identities. The belief in a \u201cSunni rule\u201d in Damascus, for example, is nothing but a dangerous illusion. History shows that identity-based states, whether Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Franco\u2019s Spain, or the Baathist regimes of Iraq and Syria, inevitably collapsed into political exclusion and dictatorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The outcomes of the conference went further, laying out a triad of principles that could lift Syria from tyranny and protect it against its return. This triad rests on three pillars: democracy, the entrenchment of ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity, and a decentralized state. The first two pillars \u2018democracy and pluralism\u2019 may seem widely accepted, at least in theory, among Syrians not tied to the current regime. But the third pillar, decentralization, is just as essential. It provides the only real safeguard against backsliding into dictatorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Syria\u2019s bloody history shows why democracy and constitutions alone are not enough. Even Germany\u2019s strong democratic institutions could not prevent the rise of Nazism. How then can one trust such safeguards in a country like Syria, where time and again unarmed communities have been massacred or plundered simply because they lacked military means of self-defence? Some argue the ultimate solution is to disarm the state itself, but until that day, decentralization ensures that communities retain the ability to protect themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this sense, the Hasakah Conference offers Syrians a rare opportunity. For the first time, they are practicing politics differently; based on addressing fears directly and pulling communities into a common public space. And by articulating the triad of democracy, pluralism, and decentralization, the conference offers a long-awaited blueprint for building a real state in Syria, a full century after its founding. Most importantly, it proves that democracy in Syria need not be toothless rhetoric. It can carry real weight, and real defence, against tyranny; provided this approach expands to include all Syrian components, not just those in the northeast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darius Al-Darwish The Hasakah Conference, held on August 8 under the title \u201cConference for the Unity of Position of the Components of North and East Syria\u201d, has sparked a storm of accusations from supporters of the current regime.
