Syria embraces tyranny once again. De-facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, now known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, stated in a recent interview with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Arabiya network that he envisioned that it would take two to three years for Syria to have a new constitution, that “it’s possible” for Syria to have an election in four years, and that the new Syria would never engage in a federation with its Kurds or any other group.
