The Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) rebel group is consolidating power in Syria following the removal of President Bashar al-Assad. They have appointed a new interim government, urged displaced Syrians to return, and are working to restore normalcy in Damascus. The police force is being rebuilt, with new officers from Idlib, while a reconciliation center has been established for former soldiers to register and obtain new identity cards. The HTS promises safety and amnesty for those who did not commit atrocities during al-Assad's regime. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
