HTS Leader Announces Dissolution of Assad's Security Forces, Closes Prisons
Dec 12, 2024, 02:11 AM
In a significant development in Syria, Ahmad al-Sharaa, better known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has announced plans to dissolve the security forces of the toppled regime of Bashar al-Assad. This decision comes in the wake of a swift offensive by HTS that ended 50 years of Assad family rule. Al-Golani's forces have swept across Syria, replacing the Assad regime with an interim government, which he aims to consolidate under HTS's political and military control. The move to dismantle the old regime's security apparatus includes closing notorious prisons and pursuing those involved in torture or killing of prisoners. This marks a pivotal moment in Syrian politics as the country transitions from authoritarian rule to a new form of governance.
