Ahmad Al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has announced plans to dissolve the security forces of the former Syrian regime led by Bashar al-Assad. In a statement to Reuters, Al-Sharaa pledged to close the notorious prisons associated with the regime, where many were tortured and killed. HTS, which recently ousted Assad from power, aims to work with international organizations to ensure security for all except those with blood on their hands. This move signals a significant shift in Syrian governance, with Al-Jolani emerging as a key figure in the country's new political landscape.
