Syria's interim president investigates violence causing deaths

Syria's Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has launched an investigation into recent violence that resulted in over 1,000 deaths. Clashes between pro-government forces and supporters of ousted President Bashar al-Assad have spread from coastal cities to Damascus. Al-Sharaa faces multiple challenges, including balancing various factions and addressing the concerns of minority groups feeling marginalized. He has formed a committee to investigate civilian violations and pledged accountability for those responsible. The interim government is also navigating complex relationships with foreign powers, including Turkey and the U.S., while seeking legitimacy and support. Al-Sharaa's efforts to stabilize Syria come amid ongoing tensions and factional disputes.
