Colani announced that a new currency will be introduced in Syria.

In Syria, armed opposition groups led by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) advanced to the capital Damascus in 12 days, bringing an end to the 61-year Ba'ath regime. Following the operations that concluded with Bashar al-Assad and his family fleeing to Russia, HTS leader Colani, who suddenly became a well-known figure worldwide, provided information on how they would govern the country.

"COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE WILL BE ABOLISHED"

Speaking to AlarabyTV, Colani stated in his first comprehensive remarks on how he would govern the Syrian state, "Compulsory military service will be abolished, armed groups will be disbanded, and weapons will only be in the hands of the state."

"WE WILL SWITCH TO A NEW CURRENCY"

Colani, who said, "Very important economic decisions will be made," also announced that a new currency would be adopted after the current currency stabilizes. Additionally, Colani mentioned in the interview, "Primarily, the reconstruction of destroyed houses will be ensured, and the return of all refugees will be facilitated until the last displaced person returns."

WHAT HAPPENED IN SYRIA?

On November 27, clashes intensified between regime-opposing armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups had gained dominance in major cities such as Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs between November 30 and December 7.

As the groups began entering the capital Damascus on December 7, with support from the masses, the regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions, leading to its collapse. The 61-year rule of the Ba'ath Party came to an end, and regime leader Assad fled the capital.

Meanwhile, the Syrian National Army had also liberated the district center of Tal Rifaat from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG on the first day of the Operation Dawn of Freedom, which was launched in December. With the liberation of the district of Manbij, the region, which had turned into the largest terrorist stronghold west of the Euphrates River, was cleared of PKK/YPG.
