Researcher Muhsen AlMustafa at the Omran Center believes that international experiences in restructuring armies after conflicts—such as in Iraq, Lebanon, South Africa, and Rwanda—can offer inspiring lessons rather than ready-made prescriptions, since the Syrian case has its own complex specificity.

In his remarks to Syria TV, AlMustafa proposed adopting a comprehensive Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) program, stressing that reintegration should not only include the incorporation of some former members into the new army, but also their rehabilitation as active citizens within their communities.
