Sectarian militias are undermining Syria's fragile transition by refusing to integrate into legitimate security structures. The new government is working to establish control and has deployed forces to restore peace, but local armed groups continue to destabilize the situation. National unity requires all communities to cooperate with official authorities rather than taking matters into their own hands.
