The appointment of Ahmad al-Sharaa, a rebel once aligned with al-Qaida, as Syria's president “in the transitional phase,” came after a meeting of the former insurgent factions in Damascus, the Syrian capital.
Syria's new authorities announced Wednesday that Ahmed al-Sharaa, who took the helm after Bashar al-Assad's ouster last month, has been appointed interim president and tasked with forming a transitional legislature, state media reported.
Syria’s de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa was declared transitional president Wednesday, less than two months after he led a campaign that toppled Bashar al-Assad.
