Six months after Ahmad Al-Sharaa led the ejection of the Syrian Dictator Bashar Al-AssadU.S. President Donald Trump sat down with the former Al-Qaed character to talk about Syria “Chance in size.”
The meeting, which lasts about half an hour, according to the white house officials, was a dramatic reversal for a militant figure, which spent the years of closed US forces after being trapped in Iraq.
Trump agreed to “greet” the Provisional Syrian President Before the American leader wraps his stay in Saudi Arabia and move in Qatar, where Trump will be tribute to the state visit. Its minimal tour will take him to the United Arab Emirates.
At the meeting of the American Delegation and the Syrian Foreign Affairs Minister in New York last month, American officials transferred Al-Shibani that Washington wanted more than dozens of conditioned before sanctions could be removed.
Also in April, Al-Sharaa allegedly told the US Trump Activist, that he was ready to discuss Trump Tower in Damascus, in the Deviations in the Ukraine in the Camera Candidacy in the US President.
Mr. Al-Sharaa, who worked under Nom de Guerre Abu Mohammed Al-Golani, was appointed President Syria in January, a month of rebel offensive rebel al-Sham or HTS, who stormed Damascus and finished the 54-year-old family Assas.
Trump said he had decided to meet Al-Shara after he encouraged him to do it to the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The president also committed to amaze the years of long sanctions in Syria.
“There is a new government that we will hope to be able to stabilize the country and keep peace,” Trump in the wide side of the external political address on Tuesday he announced that he was in Syria in Syria. ”
Speaking of the Investment Forum in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, he added that this is the Syria “time to glow”.
Sanctions return to the rule of Al-Assad, who drove in December and now lives in Moscow, and are intended to inflict a great pain of his economy.
Both Biden and Trump left sanctions in place after the fall of Assad as they sought to take over the al-Sharaa, who renounced his last belongings to Al-Qaid.
So far, the extent of its transformation from jihadi extremists to the state builder has so far. His state visits with Trump is the next Syrian leader test.
While the rebels took control of the main city, DamascusAssad escaped into hiding, and for the first time in the 50-year-old family of the family, it was an open question of how Syria will be regulated.
Syria is home to multiple ethnic and religious communities, often against each other and the years of war that are extracted with each other. Many of them are afraid that the Sunnim Islamist extremists will take over.
The country is also fragmented among the separations of armed factions and foreign powers from Russia and Iran to United StatesTurkey and Israel all have hands in a mix.
For years, Al-Sharaa worked on consolidation of power, while they fired in the province of Idlib in Syria northwest corner, as Assad’s Iranian and Russian-divided rule appeared solid.
He maneuvered among extremist organizations while eliminated competitors and former allies. He traded that the Polish picture of his de facto “saved the government” who led idlib to win over international governments and reassuring Syria religious and ethnic minorities. He also built connections with different tribes and other groups.
Al-Sharaa was kicked, as stubborn Islamist guerrillas and placed press interview suits, discussing buildings of state institutions and decentralization be able to reflect Syria diversity.
“Syria deserves the management system that is institutional, no one where one ruler is made by an interview with CNN in weeks after HTS, in the end, will be dissolved HTS, offering the possibility of HTS.
“Don’t judge in words, but in the shares,” he said.
Al-Sharaa’s beginnings in Iraq
Al-Sharaine connections with Al-Qaida stretch at 2003. year, when he joined the extremists who fought against American troops in Iraq. Syrian was originally detained by the American army, but she remained in Iraq. During that time, Al-Qaida usurped the same group and formed an extremist Islamic state Iraq, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
In 2011, the popular uprising against Syria Assassia launched a brutal government and led to the release of war. Al-Sharaa monitoring grew when Al-Baghdadi sent him to Syria to establish a branch of Al-Qaeda called Nusra Front. The United States indicate a new group as a terrorist organization. This appointment remains in place, and the US government put $ 10 million on it (£ 4.5 million).
Nusra Front and Syrian conflict
As in 2013, Syria is intensifying in 2013, as well as Al-Sharea ambitions. He was violating al-Bagdadi’s calls to dissolve the Nusru Front and merged with Al-Qaed surgery in Iraq, in order to form an Islamic state of Iraq and Syria or Isis.
Al-Sharaa, however, promised his al-Qaidi loyalty, which later separated from ISIS. Nusra Front borrowed Isis and eliminated a great care of competition among the Syrian Armed Opposition Assad.
In his first conversation in 2014, Al-Sharaa kept his face, telling a journalist for the Qatari Network Al-Jazeera to reject political talks in Geneva to complete the conflict. He said his goal was to see that Syria is judged under Islamic law and it was clear that there was no room for Alawite, Shit, Druze and Christians.
Consolidation of power and rebranding
In 2016, Al-Sharaa first discovered the person in the public in the video announced that his group renamed Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham – Syria Conquerors – and cutting his ties in Al-Qaid.
“This new organization has no membership of any external entity,” he said in the video, recorded the carrying of military dress and turban.
The shift was asphalted by the path that Al-Sharaa claims complete control over fragile militant groups. A year later, his union was re-rebranced as Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham – the significance of the liberating Syria organization – such as groups connected, strengthening al-golanine power in the idlib province of idlib northwest.
HTS later clashed with independent Islamist militants who opposed to the merger, further won Al-Sharaj and his group as a leading force in northwestern Syria, able to rule the Iron Fist.
With his energy consolidated, Al-Sharaa sets the transformation on the move that it could have thought a little. The replacement of his army of a dress with a shirt and pants, began to refer to religious tolerance and pluralism.
He appealed to the company’s company in Idlib, which Nusra Front aimed earlier and visited the families of the Kurds who were killed in militia supported by Turkish.
Al-Sharaa is 2021. He had his first interview with an American journalist on PBS. Wearing Blazers, with short hair back, now now all the Soft-word about HTS said that his group did not constitute a threat to the West and that sanctions were imposed unfairly.
“Yes, we criticized Western politics,” he said. “But to pay the war against the United States or Europe from Syria, that’s not true. We didn’t say we wanted to fight.”
Al-Shara, Syrian President
In January this year, Syrian military commanders who participated in Al-Assad’s Ouating appointed Al-Shara as a provisional president, strengthening his power over the ground.
He has elaborated for the formation of the Interim Legislative Council for the Transitional period, and the Syrian Constitution was suspended, according to the announcement issued by the military command that was guided by the offensive against Assad.
He addressed the conference, Al-Sharaa said that the first priority in Syria was to fill in the vacuum in the Government “in legitimate and legal”.
He also said that civilian peace must be preserved through transitional justice and prevention of revenge, that state institutions, primarily among them, are renewed and develop economic infrastructure.
He pledged to engage in political transition, including the National Conference, Inclusive Government and the Event Elections, which he said, could last for up to four years to keep.
He did not say when the new legislative body could be harvested or provide all new details for the transition time bar.
Almost four months from their appointment are mixed. French President Emmanuel Macron welcomed Al-Shara in Paris last week to talk about finally ending sanctions against Syria.
But mass murders of civilians from Al-Assad in March, during the conflict between the new security and loyalists to the former dictator, hardened fears among minorities that they were essentially protected.
The conflicts between the Islamistic Armed Fractions, Security Forces and the Fighters from the Friends of the religious minority were additionally tortured by the country.
The United States has previously said that they would not raise sanctions in Syria if no matters of the protection of minority rights are not allowed to be addressed, but is the meeting Mr. Trump with Al-Sharaima expressed the break of this policy remains to be seen.
