left Syrians, countries in the region and world powers nervous on Tuesday about what comes next as the rebel alliance took its first steps in a government transition.
With the mood in Damascus still celebratory, Assad’s Prime Minister Mohammed Jalali on Monday agreed to hand power to the rebel-led Salvation Government, an administration based in rebel-held territory in northwest Syria. The civil war that began in 2011 killed hundreds of thousands, caused one of the biggest refugee crises of modern times and left cities bombed to rubble, the countryside depopulated and the economy hollowed out by global sanctions.
“This is an incredible moment for the Syrian people,” Deputy US Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood said in New York. “Now we’re really focused right now on trying to see where the situation goes. Can there be a governing authority in Syria that respects the rights and dignities of the Syrian population?”
Golani has vowed to rebuild Syria, and HTS has spent years trying to soften its image to reassure foreign nations and minority groups within Syria. HTS is designated as a terrorist organisation by many states and the UN, and its governing credentials are uncertain.
