Mohammed al-Bashir has been appointed as Syria's interim prime minister, following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad. He will serve until March 1, 2025, leading a transition government after the recent offensive that forced Assad to flee. Al-Bashir previously led the rebel-backed Salvation government in northwestern Syria. His appointment marks a significant shift in power dynamics after 13 years of civil war, which resulted in widespread devastation and loss of life. Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the leader behind the offensive, is coordinating a transfer of power and has pledged to hold accountable those responsible for war crimes. The situation remains uncertain as the new leadership seeks to establish stability.
