After 13 years of civil war and five decades under the oppressive Baathist regime, Syria awoke on Monday to an uncertain future as rebels captured the capital, Damascus, and forced President Bashar al-Assad to flee to Russia.
The city바카라s fall marked the culmination of a long struggle and the beginning of a new chapter in the Middle East바카라s complex political landscape.
Abu Mohammed al-Julani, leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the main Syrian opposition group, delivered a speech following the group바카라s victory in Damascus. Standing in the iconic Umayyad Mosque, al-Julani declared that a 바카라new history바카라 had been written, not just for Syria, but for the entire region.
He emphasised that the Syrian people were the rightful owners of their country.
바카라Without them committing any crimes, the (Al-Assad) regime has imprisoned thousands of its own civilians unjustly. We, the Syrian people, are the rightful owners of this country. We have fought long and hard. And today, we have been rewarded with this victory,바카라 Al-Jazeera has quoted al-Julani stating.
Reflecting on the immense human toll the conflict had taken, he continued, 바카라How many people were displaced across the world? How many people lived in tents? How many drowned in the seas?바카라
Al-Julani바카라s words resonated deeply with those who had endured the hardship and loss of war. 바카라A new history is being written in the entire region after this great victory,바카라 he proclaimed. 바카라This victory is for all Syrians; they were all part of this victory.바카라
As per CNN, Al-Julani바카라s rise to power has been marked by significant transformation. Once an al-Qaeda fighter, he has distanced himself from radical groups in favor of broader sectarian tolerance. His strategic speech signaled a shift in his political identity. As he stood before the mosque바카라s towering stone walls, he said, as reported by the CNN website, 바카라This victory, my brothers, is a victory for the entire Islamic nation.바카라
It was a statement not just for those who had supported him, but for the broader Sunni majority in Syria, to whom he belongs. He signaled that this victory belonged to them as well.
Al-Julani바카라s road to power has not been without controversy. As a leader of a group deemed a terrorist organisation by the United States and other Western nations, he faces significant external opposition. A $10 million bounty has been placed on his head.
Al-Julani has worked to ensure that his message reaches key international audiences. In interviews with Western media outlets like CNN, he has sought to present himself as a leader who has moved beyond the brutal tactics of past jihadist groups.
He positioned himself as a more pragmatic figure who is willing to engage with the world.
As Syria embarks on a new and uncertain path, al-Julani바카라s leadership and the actions of his group will play a pivotal role in shaping the country바카라s future.
The coming months will determine whether this victory will be the beginning of a new era of stability and governance, or if it will plunge the nation further into chaos and conflict. The world watches closely as the new Syrian reality unfolds.
With his message, he seemed to have attempted to break sectarian divides. He denounced Syria바카라s sectarian history and the influence of Iran, which had long supported Assad바카라s regime, the CNN reported. 바카라This new triumph marks a new chapter in the history of the region, a history fraught with dangers that left Syria as a playground for Iranian ambitions,바카라 he said.
바카라Syria became a place where corruption and sectarianism were spread by external forces, and now, this era is over.바카라
Al-Julani바카라s speech also served as a pointed message to international powers, particularly Iran, which had long held sway in Syria. He declared that 바카라Syria is being purified바카라.
