Al-Nahlawi issued an order on 28 March for the president to be detained and taken to the General Staff building. He was imprisoned at Mezze Military Hospital.https://syrmh.com/2021/02/26/%d9%85%d8%b1%d9%88%d8%a7%d9%86-%d8%ad%d8%a8%d8%b4-%d8%a5%d9%86%d9%82%d9%84%d8%a7%d8%a8-28-%d8%a2%d8%b0%d8%a7%d8%b1-1962/ مروان حبش: إنقلاب 28 آذار 1962 - التاريخ السوري المعاصر 26 February 2021 syrmh.com After the ones that were given on 28 September 1961, the radio started airing military announcements. The escalation of tensions between Nahlawi and Nazim al-Qudsi, the Republic's then-President, who assumed office in December, was one of the coup's primary drivers. The socialist policies Abdel Nasser approved two months prior to the secession are among them, as the military just sought to amend them but the political class preferred to entirely revoke them. Senior officers believed that the Syrians, like a large portion of the military, were still pro-Nasser.https://raseef22.net/article/1086597-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%82%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B3%D9%8A-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AE-%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%AB-28-%D8%A2%D8%B0%D8%A7%D8%B1-1962 الانقلاب المنسي في تاريخ سورية الحديث... 28 آذار 1962 24 February 2022 رصيف22 Marouf Al-Dawalibi was in disagreement with the officers who backed the socialist decisions, hence Al-Nahlawi requested that Al-Qudsi fire him. He also asked for the removal of Said al-Ghazzi, Maamun al-Kuzbari, and Khalid al-Azm from the political scene, the lifting of some MPs' immunity, and a reduction in the Constituent Assembly's tenure from 18 months to just six. All of these demands were rejected by Al-Qudsi. Al-Nahlawi anticipated being honored and promoted to a senior position because he thought the politicians should give him credit for what they were able to enjoy in the separatist republic. Al-Nahlawi asserted that the coup was a continuation of the coup from 1961 and that its goals were reform and a change of direction. On 16 April, a technocratic government was established following the failed attempt due to resistance from some military members. Abd al-Karim Zahr al-Din took over as Minister of Defense.https://books.google.com/books?id=WyScEAAAQBAJ&dq=colonel+nahlawi&pg=PA1094 Historical Dictionary of Modern Coups d'État 978-1-5381-2068-2 Chin John J.

The traditional political establishment, including President Nazim al-Kudsi and Prime Minister Maarouf al-Dawalibi, favored their outright repeal. Both Kudsi and Dawalibi came from merchant families whose economic interests were damaged by these socialist measures. The military justified their position by arguing that the Syrian populace remained Nasserist, and they further demanded a change in the premiership.
