HTS rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa is named interim president of Syria

Ahmed al-Sharaa, better known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, was declared Syria’s head of state for a transitional phase and empowered to form a new legislative council, state media reported Wednesday. After an Islamist rebel alliance toppled Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December, their leader al-Sharaa took over as de facto leader.
