The Syrian Communist Party (Unified) (Arabic: الحزب الشيوعي السوري (الموحد)), initially known simply as the Syrian Communist Party (الحزب الشيوعي السوري, Al-Hizb Al-Shuyū'ī Al-Sūrī), was a communist party in Syria.
Following the fall of Ba'athist Syria, the party along with the National Progressive Front (NPF), of which it was a member, was dissolved by the Syrian transitional government on 29 January 2025.[3]
History
[edit]The party emerged from a split in the Syrian Communist Party in 1986, formed by the pro-Perestroika faction led by Yusuf Faisal.
At the time of the 2000 Damascus Spring, the party was able to publish a newspaper called an-Nour ("The Light").
The 11th party congress, held in March 2011, re-elected Hanin Nimir as First Secretary of the party.[4][5]
Following the fall of the Assad regime, the party published a statement expressing support for the Syrian transitional government and calling for a new constitution to be published.[6]
