Ahmad al-Sharaa , once aligned with al-Qaida , named as Syria ’s interim president.

He is the head of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham , which led the lightning offensive that toppled Assad in early December .

The former insurgents also threw out Syria 's constitution, adopted under Assad , saying a new charter would be drafted.

U.S.-backed Kurdish groups have carved out an autonomous enclave early in Syria ’s civil war, never fully siding with the Assad government or the rebels seeking to topple him.

There has been an escalation in clashes between the Kurdish forces and Turkish -backed armed groups allied with HTS .
