HTS leader Ahmed al-Sharaa pushed a message of unity in Syria as he sought to reassure minorities in the war-torn country.
Syria’s rebel factions will be “disbanded” and trained to join the “ranks of the defence ministry” said the leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, which led rebel fighters to Damascus and toppled Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
Ahmed al-Sharaa, previously known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, added that all fighters would be “subject to the law” as he sought to reassure minorities in Syria that the group would protect citizens and continue state institutions in the multi-ethnic country.
“Syria must remain united,” al-Sharaa said, according to the group’s Telegram channel. “There must be a social contract between the state and all religions to guarantee social justice”.
