A special press conference held on Monday saw the democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) announce an initiative to kickstart building a "New Syria". 

The conference, held in the Administration's center in the city of Raqqa, attracted an abundance of media outlets and included the initiative's manifesto, read by the co-presidents of the Executive Council, Hussein Othman, and Aven Suweid, as well as a question-answer segment with reporters. 

The Syrian Dialogue Initiative for Building a New Syria
The initiative, named the Syrian Dialogue Initiative for Building a New Syria, comes as Syria kickstarts a new era following the collapse of the Assad regime, and calls for unity and collaboration toward working for "a shared roadmap" far from the political exclusion and marginalization that devastated Syria.

All political actors were encouraged to participate in building a "New Syria", even throughout the transitional period.
