Syria authorities name Sharaa interim president: state media

Syria’s new authorities announced Ahmed al-Sharaa as interim president, tasked with forming a transitional legislature, following Bashar al-Assad’s ouster by a rebel alliance led by his Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham. Sharaa will represent the country in international forums and work towards civil peace, rebuilding state institutions, and reconstructing the Syrian army. The dissolution of Assad-era institutions, armed groups, security agencies, and the Baath party was also announced, with plans for a new security apparatus and a development-oriented economy, as Syria navigates a post-conflict transition period.
