Syria Names Ahmed al-Sharaa Interim Leader Amid Uncertainty

Following the ousting of Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s authorities have placed Ahmed al-Sharaa as the new interim president. Tasked with the formation of a transitional legislature, there are concerns about his ability to maintain stability and order in a country that has seen years of tumult and governmental overreach. While some view this as a potential step toward stability, others question if Sharaa will diverge from Assad’s iron-fisted legacy or merely continue it under a different guise.
