A new chapter in Syria’s history was announced by the broad and bearded Abu Mohammad al-Jolanide in front of a joyful audience at the old Umayyad Mosque in Damascus.
One of the oldest places of worship in Islam and a symbol of Syrian history, the ancient landmark was chosen by the leader of the uprising that overthrew Bashar al-Assad’s cruel rule to declare the country free.
He said, “Syria is cleansed,” to the assembly. If a nation loses its rights, it must continue to demand them until it regains them.
As the leader of the most potent rebel organization that overthrew Assad, Jolani’s remarks signal what many believe to be the start of a new era for the devastated nation. However, the cautious but affable fighter’s radical background clouds his future as Syria struggles with a new government and looks for new partners.
