Following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad, Syria is set to undergo a power transition led by Mohammed al-Baschir, a key figure from the Islamist group Hayat-Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The transitional government is expected to assume control until March 2025, facilitating the integration of previously established institutions in the rebel stronghold of Idlib with the former regime’s ministries. As celebrations unfold in Damascus, the UN envoy urges coherence among various factions to prevent potential conflicts.
