CONFLICT

Wie is de Syrische rebellenleider Abu Mohammed al-Golani?

December 10, 2024 - Militant leader Abu Mohammed Al-Golani and his insurgent force, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, now stand to be a major player in how Syria will be governed after 50 years of Assad family rule.

Golani, whose stunning insurgency toppled Syria’s President Bashar Assad, has spent years working to remake his public image, renouncing longtime ties to Al Qaeda and depicting himself as a champion of pluralism and tolerance.

As he entered Damascus behind his victorious fighters on Sunday, he even dropped his nom de guerre and referred to himself with his real name, Ahmed al-Sharaa.

Sharaa met outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed al-Jalali on Monday to discuss forming a transitional government. Al-Jalali, who served under Assad, has agreed to transfer power to the Syrian Salvation Government (SSG), headed by Mohammed al-Bashir.
