Syria's Christians Seek Hope Amid Calls for Peace and Stability

Following the sudden fall of the Assad regime in Syria, representatives of the country's Catholic community express hope for a democratic rebirth. Despite Assad's portrayal as a protector of minorities, many Christians welcome the change, citing exhaustion under his rule. Rebel forces have shown increasing tolerance towards Christians, and leaders like Archbishop Hanna Jallouf have received assurances of safety. The international community is urged to help stabilize Syria and support the development of a new constitution that respects all rights.
