Declan Hayes contends that the new rulers of Syria do not have a firm control over the country where resistance to the reign of terror is growing.
“If Syria falls entirely under jihadist rule, it will become a global terror hub. Western leaders must act decisively, not just for Syria’s future, but for their own security.”
The appointment of Ahmed al-Sharaa, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) as Interim President on January 29 marks the advent of a new era in Syria’s history. The New York Times in a feature article on al-Sharaa called the HTS an “Islamist rebel group once linked to Al Qaeda.”
Author and human rights lawyer Dan Kovalik says the Western powers are whitewashing a terrorist regime that is imposing a reign of terror on the Syrian population.
