"Syria is not a threat to the world", rebel leader: Sanctions must be
Ahmed al-Sharaa

Syria's de facto leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, says the country is exhausted by war and is no longer a threat to its neighbors or the West. In an interview with the BBC in Damascus, he called for the lifting of sanctions on Syria.

"Now, after all that has happened, the sanctions should be lifted because they were targeted at the old regime. The victim and the oppressor should not be treated in the same way," he said.

Sharaa led the lightning offensive that toppled Bashar al-Assad's regime less than two weeks ago. He is the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the dominant group in the rebel alliance, and was previously known by his nom de guerre of Abu Mohammed al-Jolani.

He said HTS should be delisted as a terrorist organization, designated by the UN, US, EU and UK, among many others, as it began as a splinter group of al-Qaeda, from which it broke away in 2016.

Sharaa denied that he would turn Syria into a version of Afghanistan.

“We have had universities in Idlib for more than eight years,” Sharaa said, referring to the northwestern Syrian province that has been held by rebels since 2011. “I think the percentage of women in universities is more than 60%.

When asked if alcohol consumption would be allowed, Sharaa said: “There are many things that I simply have no right to talk about because they are legal matters.”

He added that there will be a "Syrian committee of legal experts to write a constitution. They will decide. And any ruler or president will have to follow the law."
