Part 5/7:
At the helm of this transitional moment is HTS leader Muhammad Abu al-Jolani, who met with the interim Prime Minister to outline the path forward. However, the details surrounding governance remain murky, with Damascus still experiencing a lockdown and a curfew imposed from dusk to dawn. Reports indicate that HTS combatants have been relocated from the Idlib region to secure important sites in the capital. While property damage and looting observed during the initial days of transition have reportedly ceased, the absence of a functional government raises concerns for the future stability of the nation.
