Local leaders in #Assad's Alawite hometown of Qardaha have agreed to renounce all their weapons & accept the authority of the emerging #HTS-directed transitional body in #Damascus.
This comes after ~36hrs of dialogue in #Latakia. pic.twitter.com/IU4buBGkN1
Over the past week, almost all attention on #Syria has been directed at the #HTS/opposition vs. #Assad dynamic -- and the change of power in #Damascus.

Meanwhile, the #SDF in northeast #Syria has been dealt a tough hand of cards -- a 🧵:
Strategically, the #SDF is more vulnerable now than at any point of its 9yr existence -- as #Turkey now has zero restrictions on its potential desire to make a move on it along its border with #Syria.#HTS doesn't want conflict, but the #SNA clearly does.

Here is the state of affairs on day one of the HTS-led government in Damascus:
- Central Bank operating; commercial banks reopen Thursday.
- Mohammed al-Bashir appointed to form a temporary government.
- Jolani met Bashir and Assad’s PM to arrange power transfer.
- Aleppo airport to resume domestic flights soon.
- State employees told to return to work.
- Gov’t officials say Women free to wear what they wish.
- Harm to journalists punishable by prison.
- General amnesty to all Syrian military conscripts
HTS leadership have prohibited anyone to interfere with women clothing, stating that women can wear whatever they want to. I really, really hope, that they not only stick to their words because they're said everything right so far, but also that they manage to keep stability. The only ones threatening stability right now are Türkiye/SNA and Israel.
