Jolani disbands Syrian rebels and orders creation of new army

"Syria’s rebel groups will be disbanded and absorbed into the national army, the head of the
faction which ousted Bashar al-Assad has said.

Meeting the country’s religious minority Druze community, Mohammed al-Jolani – who has started using his real name, Ahmed al-Sharaa – said rebels would be trained to “join the ranks of the defence ministry”.
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) – the Islamist group led by Sharaa as Jolani which is now leading Syria – was once affiliated with al-Qaeda and is still classed as a terrorist organization by the UK, US and much of Europe." MS
