"Our forces are almost finished taking control of the capital and protecting public property," the Islamist group Haiat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) announced on social media. "The new government will start work immediately after its establishment." HTS did not say exactly how this new government in Syria would be formed or who would be involved.
Syria is fragmented after years of civil war. In addition to HTS and allied rebel groups, Kurdish and Turkish-affiliated militias are also active in the country. Kurds, Alevis, Druze and Christians live in the ethnically and religiously divided country. The Alevi minority was the most important supporter of the now ousted Assad government.
