Syrian opposition to form transitional government after Assad’s ouster: What we know
Syrian rebels and former government officials are working to ensure a 'smooth' transition of power by forming a transitional government to take over the coming period after the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad.
The head of the government affiliated with the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group, Mohammed al-Bashir, announced Tuesday that he was officially appointed to head a caretaker government in Syria until March 2025, tasked with managing the transitional period in the country after a sweeping rebel offensive that saw the fall of President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, 13 years after the civil war broke out.
In a televised statement, Bashir said his appointment came during a meeting between him and other opposition leaders, including HTS leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, better known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Golani. The newly appointed caretaker prime minister continued that the security services affiliated with HTS would be dissolved and “terrorism laws” abolished.
