NNA - German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has called on the Syrian government to guarantee security and stability for all Syrians, following violent clashes that claimed the lives of at least 1,500 people.

Ahead of her scheduled visit to Damascus, Baerbock stated that the recent violence has severely undermined confidence in the Syrian authorities. "Many Syrians fear that life in the future Syria will not be safe for all its citizens," she said in a statement.

Baerbock stressed the responsibility of the Syrian interim government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, to maintain control over armed groups within its ranks. She urged the government to prosecute those responsible for the recent wave of violence and ensure long-term peace and prosperity throughout the war-torn country.

"This is the enormous task facing the Syrian interim government under Sharaa's leadership," Baerbock said.--agencies
