  • The Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group is looking to restore life in Syria to pre-civil war times. The rebel group, which orchestrated the stunning downfall of president Bashar al-Assad, is continuing to push out messages of unity to a population severely scarred by decades of domestic division.

The article from MSN discusses the rapid rise of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an Islamist group, in key sectors of Syria just ten days after the hypothetical toppling of President Bashar al-Assad. HTS has reportedly gained control over strategic locations and infrastructure, including parts of Aleppo, Idlib, and the M5 highway, which are crucial for both military and economic activities. This development has raised concerns about the potential for HTS to establish a de facto government in these regions, leveraging the power vacuum left by Assad's ousting. The group's expansion is seen as a significant shift in the Syrian conflict dynamics, potentially affecting international relations, local governance, and the ongoing efforts for peace and stability in the region.
