Summary Ahmed al-Sharaa has removed his brother from a key government position as part of a broader administrative reshuffle
DAMASCUS (Dunya News) - Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa removes his brother from a senior post amid reshuffle, following nepotism allegations and appoints a new official in his place.
Reports said that Maher al-Sharaa, who had been serving as Secretary-General of the presidency in Damascus, was relieved of his duties following allegations of nepotism. However, no official confirmation was provided regarding the specific reasons for his removal.
Maher al-Sharaa’s earlier appointment had drawn comparisons with governance practices during the eras of former Syrian presidents Bashar al-Assad and Hafez al-Assad, when close family members often held influential positions.
According to official reports, the president has appointed Abdulrahman Badr al-Din al-Ammah, the former governor of Homs province, to replace his brother in the role.
It remains unclear what position Maher al-Sharaa will assume next. He is a medical professional and has previously served as Syria’s interim health minister.
The reshuffle is seen as part of ongoing efforts by the Syrian administration to reorganize key պետական positions, although further details have not yet been disclosed.
