What are Abu Mohammed al-Joulani’s stated goals for Syria’s future, and how do they differ from his past actions and the ideology of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham?
## The Shadowy Figure Behind Syria’s Upheaval: Who is Abu Mohammed al-Joulani?
The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime has sent shockwaves through the international community. While many celebrate the end of a brutal dictatorship, concerns are mounting over the man who orchestrated this seismic shift: Abu Mohammed al-Joulani.
Beneath the veneer of a politician seeking to rebuild Syria, Jolani is a notorious figure. Known as the most wanted terrorist in the world, he stands at the helm of Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), a Sunni Islamist organization responsible for brutal attacks and the persecution of minorities.
HTS, classified as a terrorist group by the UN and the United States, has been thrust into the global spotlight after leading a lightning offensive that toppled Assad’s regime. The U.S. State Department is actively seeking information about al-Joulani, offering a substantial $10 million reward for any leads.
Jolani’s journey from a professor of Arabic to a leader of one of the world’s deadliest terrorist groups is a chilling tale.
He first took up arms with Al-Qaeda in Iraq in 2003, fighting against U.S. forces. After being imprisoned by American forces, he was released and later joined forces with the Islamic State (ISIS), becoming a key operational leader in the province of Nineveh. In 2011, he formed his own group, the Al-Nusra Front, comprised of disgruntled ISIS fighters. This group has now evolved into HTS.
His recent attempt to paint himself as a moderate, promising democracy and protection for minorities, is seen as a ploy by many international observers.
Amidst the euphoria over Assad’s fall, the world is anxiously watching al-Joulani, questioning whether Syria will find peace or descend further into chaos under his leadership. With Russia preoccupied with its war in Ukraine and Iran weakened by recent setbacks, the window of opportunity for al-Joulani to solidify his grip on power may be wider than ever.
