But he also appointed nine independent ministers, among them technocrats and former activists, and included five ministers who served in the early years of the Assad regime before the country descended into civil war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He named ministers from each of the main ethnic minorities, Kurds, Druze, Christians and Alawites, the sect of Mr. al-Assad. Among them was the lone woman minister, Hind Kabawat, who is Christian, to lead the Ministry of Social Affairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNo doubt some voices will feel excluded still,\u201d Abdy Yeganeh, policy director at the Independent Diplomat, a London-based nonprofit advisory group, said ahead of the swearing-in ceremony. But overall, he said, \u201cthere is a sense of cautious optimism with the transition in Syria, including with the announcement of the new government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. al-Shara had been under pressure from Western countries and from members of Syria\u2019s civil society to form an inclusive government. Those calls took on greater urgency after sectarian violence erupted this month among Alawite communities in Syria\u2019s coastal region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere is a need to widen the circle,\u201d Ibrahim al-Assil, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C., said ahead of the announcement, referring to Mr. al-Shara\u2019s small circle of allies that had been running the transitional government since December. \u201cThere is a need to be more inclusive, from one perspective to reflect Syrian society, and from another because they need them. They cannot run the show on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Muhammad Haj Kadour<!-- --> contributed reporting from Damascus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
