\n\tReuters. Syria’s de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa reached an agreement on Tuesday (December 24) with former rebel faction chiefs to dissolve all groups and consolidate them under the defence ministry, according to a statement from the new administration.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tPrime Minister Mohammed al-Bashir had said last week that the ministry would be restructured using former rebel factions and officers who defected from Bashar al-Assad’s army.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tSharaa will face the daunting task of trying to avoid clashes between the myriad groups.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tThe country’s new rulers appointed Murhaf Abu Qasra, a leading figure in the insurgency that toppled Bashar al-Assad, as defence minister in the interim government.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tSyria’s historic ethnic and religious minorities include Muslim Kurds and Shi’ites — who feared during the civil war that any future Sunni Islamist rule would imperil their way of life — as well as Syriac, Greek and Armenian Orthodox Christians, and the Druze community.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tSharaa has told Western officials visiting him that the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group he heads, a former al Qaeda affiliate, will neither seek revenge against the former regime nor repress any religious minority.<\/div>\n
\n\t\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n\tSyrian rebels seized control of Damascus on Dec. 8, forcing Assad to flee after more than 13 years of civil war and ending his family’s decades-long rule.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
