Ahmad al-Sarra announced the dissolution of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham

Date:

Syria’s de facto leader, Ahmad al-Sarra, announced last night that the organisation he leads, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham—formerly known as the Nusra Front—will be disbanded as part of a national dialogue conference.

When asked during an interview with Al Arabiya about the organisation’s dissolution, al-Sarra responded, “Of course. A country cannot be governed with the mindset of organisations and militias.”

The organisation previously had ties with ISIS and al-Qaeda but claims to have severed them, attempting to present itself as moderate. It has repeatedly pledged to protect minorities who fear it might impose Islamist governance.

According to al-Sarra, the upcoming national dialogue conference will see broad participation from Syrian society and will discuss and vote on issues such as dissolving parliament and drafting a new constitution.

Regarding the situation in northeastern Syria, al-Sarra stated that discussions are underway with all parties to resolve remaining conflicts, including disputes with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a group predominantly composed of Kurdish militias supported by the United States.

“We reject Syria becoming a platform for the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to launch attacks against Turkey,” al-Sarra added.
