The chairman of the Syria’s rebels, President Bashar al-Assad last month, was appointed the country’s interior president on Wednesday when the former insurgents canceled the existing constitution, and said a new charter would soon be collapsed.
The appointment of Ahmad al-Sharaa, a rebel who once agreed with Al-Qaida as Syria’s president in the transition phase, came after a meeting of the former insurgent factions in Damascus, the Syrian capital.
The announcement was made by the spokesman for the new Syria’s new military operating sector from Dexto Government, Col. Hassan Abdul Ghani, the state news agency in Sana.
Al-Sharaa was expected to appear in a television speech after the meeting did not do this immediately, and it remained unclear whether he would do it. The exact mechanism under which the political groups selected him as interim president was also not clear.
Al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, is the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an Islamist former insurgent group who managed the Lightning offensive, which Assad implemented in early December.
The rebel leader Abu Mohammed al-Golani will play an important role in the future of Syria. The Ellen Mauro of the citizen stops how he got up in the rebel pieces and how his leadership could affect the country.
The group was once connected to al-Qaida, but has convicted its previous relationships since then, and in recent years al-Sharaa has tried to fill and promised as an advocate of pluralism and tolerance, the rights of women and religious minorities protect.
New constitution that is to be confiscated
The United States had previously raised a bount of $ 10 million on Al-Sharaa, but canceled them last month after a US delegation visited Damascus and met with it. Barbara Leaf, the top US diplomat for the Middle East, said after the meeting that Al-Sharaa had met as “pragmatic”.
The Arab world or beyond, there was no immediate reaction to the appointment of al-Sharaa that was expected. The western nations are still somewhat careful about the new Islamist rulers of Syria after the fall of Assad to restore the relationships with Damascus.
Abdul Ghani, the spokesman, also terminated the cancellation of the state of the state on-Die in 2012 in accordance with Assad’s rule-and said that al-Sharaa has been authorized to form a temporary legislative council until a new constitution is collected.
All armed factions in the country would be dissolved, said Abdul Ghani and would be included in state institutions.
HTS has become the DE-FACTO government party since the autumn of Assad and has set up a preliminary government that is largely composed of civil servants from the local government, which it previously operated in the rebel in the province of Idlib.
Promise to start an integrated process for new government
The interim authorities have promised to start an integrative process for the establishment of a new government and a new constitution, including the convene of a national dialogue conference and the invitation of the various municipalities of Syria, although no date was set.
When the former Syrian army collapsed with Assad’s downfall, Al-Sharaa called for the creation of a new uniform national army and security forces, but there are questions about how interim administration can bring a patchwork of former rebel groups together, each with their own leaders and ideology.
Less than a week after the Fall of the Assad regime, thousands of Syrians have taken to celebrate as a victorious rebel forces, but in the middle of the joy, uncertainty about the future, as economic and political challenges, grows.
Even knotty is the question of the Kurdish groups supported by the USA, who worked out an autonomous enclave at the beginning of the civil war and never fully act with the government of Assad or the rebels who want to overturn it. Since Assad’s autumn there has been an escalation of the clashes between the Kurdish armed forces and the turkish -supported groups, which were allied with HTS in northern Syria.
The Kurdish -guided Syrian democratic armed forces were not present on Wednesday on Wednesday, and there was no immediate comment on the group.
At the annual conference of the World Economic Forum in Davos this month, Asaad Al-Shibani, the new Foreign Minister and HTS official Syria, said that the country needs the help of the international community, while it is rebuilt after almost 14 years of Brutal civil war.
