Syria's de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa has made significant diplomatic advances following talks with Türkiye and the United States. The rebel leader has been attempting to shore up international support following his overthrowing of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
Mr al-Sharaa who has now dropped his wartime nickname of Abu Mohammed al-Golani - leads the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group which was the largest group in the anti-Assad rebel coalition. "We must deal with the Syrian issue in line with current events. These current events require the lifting of all sanctions because these sanctions were placed on Syria due to the regime that was ruling Syria and had committed all these crimes. So it makes no sense to convict the torturer and the victim at the same time. Today, thank God, the weak have gained victory over this regime and kicked out this regime from the scene.
This was just one example of a whirlwind diplomatic tour from Mr al-Sharaa, who has dropped his former military fatigues in favour of a politician's suit. Mr Fidan has signalled Türkiye is willing to support Syria in rebuilding the country, but have demanded Kurdish rebel groups be disbanded or disarmed.
Meanwhile in Damascus, the end of the oppressive Assad regime has left deep wounds that have only begun to heal.
