Mohammed Al-Jolani’s Rise Syria’s Rebel Victory

Mohammed Al-Jolani, leader of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) alliance, has spearheaded an offensive that successfully challenged President Bashar al-Assad’s rule in Syria, marking an end to five decades of Baath Party dominance.

Al-Jolani, who initially adopted extremist tactics, has shifted towards a more moderate stance to further his strategic objectives. Recently, as rebels advanced into Damascus, he directed his forces to avoid public institutions, signalling a controlled approach to the takeover.

Earlier, Al-Jolani articulated the goal of his offensive was to overthrow Assad, a mission realized when Assad fled, leaving Damascus free from his control. This shift from operating in secrecy to taking a public role exemplifies Al-Jolani’s adaptation to the evolving political landscape. He now engages with international media, sharing his vision for Syria’s future, reflecting a significant transformation from his militant persona.

The Al-Qaeda version of Zelensky just dropped… Abu Mohammed al-Jolani is supposed to have a $10 Million U.S. bounty on his head, and yet here he is, sitting down with CNN to talk about the “training” HTS received that led it to launch an offensive across northwestern Syria. pic.twitter.com/vXEaJcDBnQ

During the offensive’s onset, Al-Jolani made a symbolic appearance in Aleppo, further solidifying his leadership. Dressed in military attire rather than traditional jihadist garb, he showcased his readiness to lead militarily and politically. His break from Al-Qaeda in 2016 was a strategic move to rebrand HTS as a more moderate entity. However, scepticism remains among global analysts regarding the group’s classification as a terrorist organization.

The leader of the Syrian Military Operations Administration, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, has ordered forces not to approach official institutions in Damascus, stating that they would remain under the prime minister's authority until they are "officially" handed over, AFP reports. pic.twitter.com/DhZe8SpWFJ

Al-Jolani’s pragmatic approach is evident as he navigates the complex dynamics of Syrian politics, aiming to position himself as a viable leader in a post-Assad era. His focus on maintaining order in “liberated” areas and ensuring the safety of minorities underlines his commitment to stability and governance, distancing himself from the chaos typically associated with jihadist groups.
