New decisions on abolishing mandatory conscription and raising salaries indicate attempt to gain public trust and improve living conditions
The so-called "General Command" in Syria indicated that Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, leader of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, met with military factions to discuss military institution structuring, noting his statement that factions will merge into a unified institution under Defense Ministry supervision in the new army.
Jolani had previously confirmed dismantling all factions and restricting weapons to Syrian state control only, adding the abolition of mandatory conscription system in Syria, and indicated studying a proposal to increase salaries in Syria by 400%.
Jolani claimed the impossibility of diverse Syria turning into a new Afghanistan, considering the country war-weary and posing no threat to its neighbors or the West, and called for lifting American and European sanctions on Damascus to enable its reconstruction.
He requested removing Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham from terrorist organizations lists, according to United Nations, United States, European Union, and United Kingdom classifications.
The leader effectively controlling the country's affairs, since the overthrow of former President Bashar al-Assad who fled to Moscow, renewed his repeated confirmation of rejecting marginalization of any Syrian components, affirming unity of all citizens.
Armed groups had launched an attack about two weeks ago on several areas in Syria, then seized Aleppo, Hama, and Homs, and finally the capital Damascus, announcing Assad's fall on December 8, who sought refuge in Russia where he was granted humanitarian asylum, and proceeded to open all prisons in the country, releasing hundreds of detainees and prisoners.
