Damascus: Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, a 45-year-old leader of the Islamic Alliance, who overthrew the Assad regime in Syria, has emerged as a key figure in the region’s complex political and militant landscape. Questions about his background and rise to prominence are natural as his influence continues to grow.

Born in 1982 in the town of Majdal near Damascus, al-Jolani’s roots trace back to Palestine. His family was displaced to Syria during the 1967 war when Israel annexed the Golan Heights. Beginning his journey as a jihadist, al-Jolani’s path has been marked by significant shifts in allegiance and ideology.

He initially joined al-Qaeda, receiving training and operational experience in Iraq. After spending five years in captivity, he returned to Syria following the U.S. invasion of Iraq in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks. Back in Syria, al-Jolani established Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which became the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda.

In March 2011, during the early days of the uprising against the Assad regime, al-Jolani played a prominent role, uniting Islamist militant groups and local militias to form the Islamic Alliance, also known as the al-Nusra Front. Despite pressure to join the Islamic State (ISIS) when it was founded by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2013, al-Jolani refused and reaffirmed his loyalty to al-Qaeda.

With support from Western countries, including the U.S. and Israel, al-Jolani’s coalition worked to overthrow the Assad government. His trajectory, from a jihadist foot soldier to a pivotal player in Syria’s ongoing conflict, underscores his controversial yet undeniable impact on the region’s power dynamics

Syria, once under the tight grip of President Bashar al-Assad for over five decades, is witnessing a monumental shift as rebels have taken control of the capital, Damascus. On Sunday morning, reports emerged that President Assad had fled the country, marking the apparent collapse of his regime. In a significant development, Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Jalali announced that the government was prepared to hand over power to the opposition.

"Ready to Hand Over Power"

Prime Minister Jalali, in a video message, confirmed that the government was ready to transfer authority to the opposition, stating that it was fully prepared to delegate responsibilities. He emphasized that he had not left Syria, reaffirming his allegiance to the country. “I am in my home. I have not left the country. I am a Syrian, and I will not leave this nation. Please, rebels, do not destroy public property,” Jalali urged.

End of 54-Year Family Rule

The rebels' control of Damascus has led to widespread reports of President Assad fleeing the country with his family, signaling the end of the Assad family’s 54-year rule over Syria. Assad's departure marks the collapse of a regime that has been in power since his father, Hafez al-Assad, seized control in 1970 through a military coup. Hafez ruled Syria until his death in 2000, after which Bashar al-Assad took over.

A Turning Point in the Conflict

Rebels have declared the end of the Assad era, with one opposition leader stating that Damascus had been liberated from Assad’s oppressive rule. “The dark era is over, and a new chapter is beginning for Syria,” he said. Meanwhile, celebrations broke out across the city, with rebels firing guns into the air and chanting slogans against Assad. Central squares were filled with jubilant crowds, honking car horns and denouncing the former president as a criminal and a dictator.

Key Statements from Rebel Leaders

Abu Mohammad al-Golani, leader of the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), called for the cessation of hostilities in Damascus and demanded that government institutions be officially handed over to the opposition. His statement gained significance after Prime Minister Jalali's announcement that the government was prepared to cede power.

With Assad's apparent flight and the rebels taking over key areas of the capital, it seems that Syria is entering a new phase of its turbulent history. As the dust settles, both the international community and Syrian citizens await to see how the situation will evolve in the coming days.
