Abu Mohammed al Golani, formerly known as Ahmad al-Sharaa, indeed is a considerable movement maker in contemporary Syria. Once cloaked as a commander of al Qaeda’s franchise in the wake of the civil war in Syria, his outstanding standing shot him above all other insurgent insurgents in Syria.
Beginning in al Qaeda in Iraq, he fought U.S. forces, serving five years in a U.S. prison upon capture. He returned to Syria after the uprising against Bashar al-Assad, sent by the leader of the Islamic State group already battling Iraq to make al-Qaeda in Syria. That unclouded operation eventually brought the world Nusra Front, which after the severance from al-Qaeda in 2016 changed to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).

Under Golani’s leadership, HTS is the strongest faction fighting against Assad. His maneuvers are strategic. His rebranding turns him into the unofficial front-runner of all rebel-held northwestern Syria. He worked on consolidating power and eliminating rivals while forging alliances with various tribes and groups. He attempted to reshape his image as a proponent of pluralism and tolerance.
This has been visually transformed since the HTS-led offensive that brought about the ouster of Assad and the seizure of cities with little resistance by the offensive. The messages affected the Syrian minorities while adopting symbols of the broad Syrian uprising. From hard-line Islamist guerrilla warfare, he now speaks of building state institutions with devolution approaches that reflect the country’s diversity.
